We are growing.

The Pilgrimage It was restarted as a cruelty-free and exploitation-free bazaar 3 years ago. We were around 10 souls from San Miguel de Allende and surrounding areas, Irapuato and Queretaro. We always thought about music and the line up was 2 or 3 DJs.

In the meantime we have gone through different venues, adapting, but also opening up new possibilities along the way.

We are now in Lavanda Aldea Holistica, in Alcocer, we are more than 40 souls activating the space in unison. The project is exclusively vegetarian and vegan and everything is done free of animal testing.

In this edition we are excited to welcome projects such as Bōu with shampoos and conditioners in bars, soaps and other vegan delights for the whole body. We are also joined by Raíz with soy candles made with Tibetan bowls and infused with unique aromas, a Mexican project. And Ts'om Taxua, a collective around cacao that resists from the Costa Chica of Guerrero.

We are excited to welcome back local agroecological projects such as El Santuario, with eggs and honey from their farm; and derivatives of their products ranging from cosmetics to mead. The incredible El Carrizo pizzas are also back, with their delicious veggie menu for the occasion. La Tlayuderia, with an Oaxacan soul, offers us tlayudas made over charcoal, with vegan and veggie options.

Guanajuato artists are also returning, such as Joules, the incredible jeweler who works unique pieces inspired by power plants. Atom Weeds, a project by Dolores Hidalgo focused on high-quality products for smokers. A flor de piel, with its express sexuality school, to resolve your individual or couple doubts and also with its water-based lubricants in San Miguel de Allende. There will also be tarot by Moon Goddesses, slow tattoos done without a machine and the delights we are already accustomed to…

In the new self-managed area there are proposals that excite us such as: Paraíso Colibrí, a project focused on native plants for pollinators. We are also joined by Caminos de agua, with its powerful proposals for water harvesting. And new projects such as Fátima, which offers art therapy with nature and Mayan massage. Or Edith, which offers cleansing, quartz and incense.

In both areas we are accompanied by cooks from different ranches in San Miguel offering their vegetarian and vegan proposals.

Kambuchas, fresh waters and fermented drinks will abound.

But we are not just vendors. There are also workshops and lots of music.

There is an ikebana workshop by Victor Hugo; a local herbal botany kit by Yatziry; storytelling for children by Azul; an urban art and moralism workshop by Jahz; and hatha yoga and art with nature by Fatima. There will also be a temazcal. These activities have a symbolic fee for recovery and ideally require prior reservation because the places are limited.

In music we are accompanied by Ofer with his selection of world rhythms; Lucas with a set he has prepared for the occasion; Sonido Hechicería who comes from San Juan del Río to delight us with one of his rich and danceable sets; the mutant son jarocho of Lucy and Alma; roots/dub live by Antonio; a special set for children by Pingüicas Agogo live on Sunday at 2:30 pm; and the local DJ with his delicious dub Dee Dub.

The event is completely free and open to the public. For people aged 0-1,000. For the whole family. From 11 am to 6 pm.

There are welcome prizes for all those who arrive by bike, on foot or by public transport. There are also courtesies for those who arrive by carpool.
