In the heart of the Azuero Peninsula, where Panamanian identity beats strongest, one of the country’s most important cultural and economic events takes place: the Azuero International Fair.
From Agricultural Exhibition to Commercial and Cultural Encounter
The history of this fair dates back to 1963, when a group of producers, businesspeople, and community leaders in La Villa de Los Santos decided to create a space to showcase the best of the region. At that time, the initiative responded to a clear need: to revitalize the local economy, boost agricultural activity, and demonstrate Azuero’s productive potential.
Over the decades, the fair grew in tandem with the country. During the 1970s and 80s, it expanded its scope by incorporating handicrafts, folkloric performances, and participation from other provinces. By the 2000s, its impact transcended borders, attracting international visitors and establishing itself as one of the most important fairs in Panama.
