XXII Expo Artesanal returns with more gastronomy and handicrafts in 2023

The city of Tijuana is once again a meeting point for Mexican artisans, as the 22nd edition of Expo Artesanal will take place from April 28 to May 2 where the culture of the different peoples of Mexico will be exhibited through drinks, unique gastronomic dishes, sweets, desserts, items, and unique objects, as well as traditional handwoven garments by artisan hands, where the ancient knowledge of this country’s communities still survive.

This is a family friendly event that will take place at the Centro Cultural Tijuana (CECUT) terrace and will be open to the public from 11 AM to 9 PM. Admission is completely free and it is 100% pet friendly.

Among the wonders that you will find in this event there are several different gastronomic dishes from all over Mexico, as well as classic drinks such as mezcal, pulque, tequila, cacao, Veracruz-style coffee, atole; fabrics for different purposes; traditional Mexican silver jewelry; clothes, shoes, sombreros, ponchos, sarapes; classic toys; alebrijes; and much more.

According to Mario Murrieta, General Manager of Expo Artesanal, more than 100 exhibitors will gather here who will highlight the beauty of Mexican arts and crafts in several different areas. These items range from carved wood items, silver, leather, porcelain, and glass to elegant and traditional clothes from Jalisco, Estado de México, Veracruz, Oaxaca, among others..

These handicrafts not only represent physical items, but also Mexico’s multiculturalism and this is why several musical local bands and artists will be present such as La Odisea, Julissa Guadalupe, Carlos Esaul, Adylen Mendoza, and more. In addition, folklore groups will showcase the beauty of Mexican traditions, as the event will coincide with the International Day of Dance which takes places on April 29.
