What is Guatemalan Fair?
They are commercial and cultural events with the main goal of bringing together Guatemalan families that are part of the Hispanic communities living in the US. The Guatemalan Fairs take place in Los Angeles California and New York.
At these events, business people show products and services that can satisfy the needs of Guatemalans living in the USA as well as the needs of their relatives living in Guatemala.
Visitors to the fairs will enjoy traditional dishes and drinks from Guatemala and there will be rides for the children. There will also be musical groups playing live Guatemalan songs thus creating the mood of an authentic Guatemalan festivity away from home.
The Guatemalan Fairs are organized by EVEFER (Eventos y Ferias Internacionales S.A.) a company with a successful experience in the organization of events and fairs.
