Mar 1, 2016A Festival in the Fireworks Capital of the World
Tultepec, located just north of Mexico City, is usually a quiet town except for one week every year. Handcrafted fireworks have been a tradition here for at least 150 years, but things took a turn for the worst in 1988 after a vendor’s stand exploded in La Merced Market, killing 61 people and prompting the government to ban production within city limits. Unfortunately the ban dealt a severe blow for Tultepec’s tourism, and to regain the lost commerce the local fireworks guild decided to start a festival to bring people back, in addition to honoring their patron saint San Juan de Dios, protector of firework makers.
