Pehuén neighborhood to host first artisan and cultural fair

The Flora Nativa Pehuén Neighborhood Development Council has signed an agreement to launch the first Artisan and Cultural Fair in the Pehuén neighborhood. Funded by the Biobío Regional Government, the initiative aims to create a space for residents, artisans, and local producers to showcase community traditions.

Key activities expected at the fair include the collection of wild fruits, woodworking, and ñocha crafts, alongside traditional peasant agricultural practices. Anselmo Villagra, the Seremi of Housing and Urbanism for Biobío, noted that the project serves to strengthen neighborhood organizations and provide opportunities for communities to promote their own local identity and history.
