Ilobasco mud festival 



Together with the Mayor's Office of Ilobasco and local actors, they carry out the IX Mud Festival in this municipality.

The objective of this activity is to give a boost to the exhibition and commercialization of the artisan products produced in the municipality of Ilobasco, in addition to promoting economic development in other sectors such as gastronomy, agribusiness, among others.
