The story

Feria Nacional Durango in Durango

Feria Nacional Durango is an annual multidisciplinary fair in Victoria de Durango celebrating the city's founding anniversary, held between June and July with July 8 as its main day. Combining entertainment, culture, tradition, sports, and culinary activities, it is considered the second most important fair in Mexico after the Feria Nacional de San Marcos and the most important fair in northern Mexico.

Victoria de Durango was founded on July 8, 1563, by the Spanish captain Francisco de Ibarra, and that founding date remains the organizing principle behind the city's most important annual civic event, the Feria Nacional Durango.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Its timing is tied directly to civic history rather than a generic calendar slot, commemorating the founding of Victoria de Durango on July 8, 1563, by Captain Francisco de Ibarra

03

The city starts moving

The fair's modern organizational structure traces to January 8, 1922, when Durango's 40th state Legislature approved decree number 135, formally establishing the activities that shaped the fair as it is known today
