The Tacna region has hosted significant civic and religious commemorations. In late August, the city prepared for the 97th anniversary of its reincorporation to Peru, marked by civic parades, official ceremonies, and the expected arrival of Keiko Fujimori. Local merchants supported the festivities by selling patriotic items along Leguía Avenue.

Following these civic events, the region hosted the 250th anniversary of the Feast of the Señor de Locumba in mid-September. This religious event drew thousands of pilgrims from Peru and neighboring nations, including Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. Activities included a central mass led by Bishop Marco Antonio Cortez Lara and long-distance walks to the Sanctuary of Cristo de los pies quemados, supported by regional health authorities.
