There are many festivals and events built around food in Baja California Sur, where ingredients from sea and land abound. We have listed the many reasons to attend and experience those events and discover which suit your gourmet appetite.
Loreto
Festival de la Almeja Chocolata
[two_first]Smoked clams are a thousand-year old Cochimie Indian tradition. The story behind this recipe has given rise to an entire celebration where you can enjoy stuffed, au gratin, pickled and smoked clams in a magical place that gave rise to the development of the peninsula.
Enjoy a gastronomic party, amateur ceviche contest and shore fishing tournament for children. It is a festival for the entire family!

Comondú
Festival del Vino Misional
[two_first]The main event is a contest between the different producers of artisanal wines made in the region. Producers participate from San Miguel and San Jose de Comondu, San Isidro and San Javier. The judges are sommeliers from Los Cabos.
Anyone can attend, but only regional producers compete, which makes discovering new wines even more interesting.

Los Cabos
Queso, Pan y Vino

There are more than 100 international cheeses and accompaniments such as tomato compote, jams, olives, focaccias and, of course, wines!

Feria de la Pitahaya en Miraflores
The emblematic fruit, the base of the Californian food, cannot go without its own festival.
[two_first]In addition to the tasting of dishes and desserts based on pitahaya, what makes this three-day fair notable is the “pitahayas parade” featuring unusual creations representative of the typical costume of Baja California Sur. Whoever has the best costume made of homemade embroidery becomes the queen of the Festival!
