Translation: In the village of Peto, there are 3 traditional fiestas, but the most well known is the one in December. The corridas (bullfights) are in December, May and August.

In Izamal, the fiestas (both Cristo Negro October 18 for around 2 weeks and the Fiesta of the Virgin of Izamal) are also ferias and are in fact known more as ferias by the locals. Salient features include not only artisans and sellers of all manner of household goods, plastic wares, ceramic wares, religious icons, etc. but also a bullfight (regional bullfights are a far cry from the grand bullfights of Merida or Motul).

Another important feature of the ferias (or fiestas) is the vaqueria. This is a gathering of the folklorico dance troupes (usually invited from all the nearby pueblos). The vaqueria in Izamal is often marked by over 100 dance troupes as it is renowned for the high quality of its folklorico troupe.

The gremios (processions held by guilds or crafts associations) are also a wonderful opportunity to witness the intersection of Maya traditions. These begin with a procession through the town and culminate in a Mass and, depending on the guild, the pig dance, the ribbon dance, and in Dzitya, the turkey dance.
