Huamantla is hosting the International Festival of Ephemeral Art and the Dahlia, scheduled to run from July 31 to August 31, 2026. The event focuses on the creation of monumental carpets made from flower petals, a form of ephemeral art that transforms local streets into temporary visual displays.

The festival utilizes the dahlia, Mexico’s national flower, as a central theme. The agenda includes various cultural activities such as exhibitions, artisanal markets, gastronomy, sports, and family-oriented programming including puppet shows and parades. The event aims to promote cultural tourism and support the local economy by encouraging visitors to engage with regional cuisine and crafts.
