The story

Miniferia de Alasita Tejada Sorzano in La Paz

The Miniferia de Alasita at Plaza Tejada Sorzano, in La Paz's Miraflores zone next to Hernando Siles stadium, is a preliminary launch event ahead of the main January Alasita fair. It features a ritual white-table ceremony asking for prosperity and health, an official inauguration by city authorities, and music and food, previewing a main fair where around 4,500 vendors sell miniatures across 66 sectors.

Each January, before the full scale of La Paz's Feria de la Alasita takes over the city, a smaller gathering at Plaza Tejada Sorzano in the Miraflores zone quietly sets the season in motion.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This miniferia's role is preparatory rather than freestanding: it functions as a smaller, earlier gathering that formally launches the season before the much larger Feria de la Alasita takes over the city

02

The mystery stays covered

Its centerpiece, a white-table ceremony asking for prosperity and health, echoes the wish-granting logic of the main fair in miniature, performed here as a ritual opening rather than a full marketplace

03

The city starts moving

City authorities give the event an official inauguration, tying municipal recognition to what is otherwise a neighborhood-scale gathering at Plaza Tejada Sorzano

04

The water draws everyone in

What follows in the weeks after, some 4,500 vendors spread across 66 sectors of the main fair, gives a sense of just how much this smaller event is setting in motion
