EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The City of Juarez has decided to go ahead with its annual open-air entertainment fair, which has been called off twice due to COVID-19 concerns, Mexican media report.
Feria Juarez is taking place Sept. 23 (next Thursday) through Oct. 10 at the fairgrounds on Plaza de la Mexicanidad around the Big Red X south of the Bridge of the Americas.
The fair was called off in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Former Mayor Armando Cabada scheduled it for Aug. 12-29 this year but called it off due to widespread opposition from community groups, the medical and business community.
