The story

Feria Agostina Santa Rosa de Copan in Santa Rosa de Copan

Santa Rosa de Copan, nicknamed the Sultana of the West, runs its Feria Agostina across roughly six weeks from August into early September, honoring the Virgin of Santa Rosa de Lima. The extended span mixes gastronomic and artisanal fairs with equestrian parades, pyrotechnic shows, and a closing stretch featuring skydiving and rodeo events.

Santa Rosa de Copan, long nicknamed the Sultana of the West for its colonial architecture and highland setting, spreads its Feria Agostina across the entire month of August and into the first weeks of September, honoring the Virgin of Santa Rosa de Lima on a calendar stretched far longer than most Honduran patronal fairs.
