The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike a typical food fair, the event is explicitly framed around food sovereignty as a legal, cultural, and political concept for the Tz'utujil Maya people, with participating groups presenting dishes that are tied to named local patron celebrations rather than a generic sampling menu, such as the caldo de gallina criolla that specifically represents the neighboring village of San Pedro Cutzan's own fiesta
