A Katy Perry concert scheduled for August 25 at the Feria Nacional Potosina (Fenapo) 2026 is expected to drive a significant tourism surge in San Luis Potosí. The event is anticipated to draw thousands of domestic and international visitors, resulting in high demand for flights at Ponciano Arriaga International Airport and hotel occupancy rates exceeding 80 percent. As the event approaches, local hospitality sectors are preparing for an influx of visitors across approximately 8,000 available rooms, which is expected to benefit restaurants, commerce, and transportation industries. By August 24, authorities projected that attendance could exceed 300,000 people, marking one of the largest gatherings in the fair's recent history. To manage the crowd, local traffic police are implementing a special mobility operation involving temporary road closures on Avenida de las Artes and Avenida Juárez, alongside coordination with the Guardia de Caminos to monitor the Circuito Potosí. ~~While state security~~ Following the performance at the Teatro del Pueblo, which drew a crowd of approximately 200,000 people, a linguistic misunderstanding occurred during the show.
