the main annual event for san ángel is the feria de las flores or flower fair, which takes place in july. this event has its origins in the pre-hispanic period as an event dedicated to xiuhtecuitl, a god of flowers. the purpose of the original event was to seek the god's protection for the area's floral and fruit crops. when the carmelites come to the area, they adapted the ritual to our lady of mount carmen, making her the patroness of the area. this resulted in a festival with both indigenous and catholic elements. the modern version of the festival began in the late 19th century. although the religious event continued through the colonial period, its popularity had waned. in 1885, an effort was made to rescue the tradition, having two events, one dedicated to the our lady of mount carmen and the other to xiuhtecuitl. these were fused in 1940 by borough authorities with the name la feria de las flores de san ángel. since then, the event has become more secular. it begin with a parade of floats starting at the parque de la bombilla, and includes activities such as painting exhibitions and contests, concerts, dance and theater recitals, charreada and food tasting.
