Marking two decades of flavor and artistry, Cocinarte — one of Baja California’s most celebrated food festivals — is set to return for its 20th anniversary in 2025. The milestone edition was announced this week by the Baja California Department of Tourism and the Tecate National Chamber of Commerce (CANACO).
The festival will take place on Saturday, September 6, from 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at CEART Tecate. Designed as an all-ages, family-friendly event, Cocinarte will feature live music from regional bands, culinary showcases, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
Zaida Luz López, Baja California’s Secretary of Tourism, emphasized that Governor Marina del Pilar’s administration is committed to supporting initiatives that highlight local talent, strengthen cultural identity, and foster community well-being. She described Cocinarte as a convergence of tradition, history, and creativity that reinforces Tecate’s reputation as a Pueblo Mágico (Magic Town) and a destination for culinary tourism.
