Over a million people descend upon the colonial city of Aguascalientes during April and May for the Feria de San Marcos, Mexico's largest. Exact dates vary each year although the fair starts around the second or third week of April and runs through to early or mid May. Festival seekers come to see the bull-fights, concerts, fun-fair, rodeos, art displays, music, dance and other cultural events; and to gamble at the fair's temporary casino. Gambling is currently illegal throughout Mexico, but the Feria de San Marcos operates a 'specially licensed' casino. Traditional Mexican and regional food and drink is available everywhere, and parties go on throughout the night!
