## Revocation Process Underway for California Fair’s Concession
The city council of Tijuana has approved steps to begin revoking the concession granted to Museo Interactivo Tijuana A.C., the organizers of the annual Feria de las Californias. The revocation procedures will be handled by the Special Commission for the Development of the Concession, which includes council members Arturo Aguirre, Melisa Pacheco, and Miguel Antonio Loza. They will work alongside the Municipal Legal Counsel to move forward with the proceedings.
If the commission decides that intervention is a precautionary measure, the Municipal Government Secretary, led by Arnulfo Guerrero León, will have the authority to manage the festivities traditionally held in September to celebrate Mexico’s independence day.
“The Municipal Government Secretary of the XXV Tijuana Council is authorized to organize the national celebrations for Mexican Independence Day, either directly or through third parties,” stated Councilor Arturo Aguirre during the council meeting.
Following the meeting on March 28, Secretary Guerrero León acknowledged that a formal process to end the concession has started, indicating that no official revocation has occurred yet. Aguirre detailed that Museo Interactivo Tijuana A.C. had failed timely delivery of operations manuals to ensure event safety. Additionally, the association faces various debts related to the use of facilities such as Morelos Park for the fair.
The concession, initially renewed in 2018 for another ten years, stipulated comprehensive visitor safety guidelines, which have not been adhered to according to councilors. Following this non-compliance, authorization was given to commence the concession’s revocation process.

## Additional Update: California Festivities Face Uncertain Future Amid Concession Revocation
The future of the traditional Feria de las Californias, a key cultural event in Tijuana, is in question as the city council seeks to revoke the concession of its current organizer, Museo Interactivo Tijuana A.C. Reports suggest that the association has fallen short on several fronts, including delivering essential safety manuals and managing financial obligations. The council’s decision to potentially transition the organizational duties to the Municipal Government Secretary could lead to changes in how the event is executed.
As the process unfolds, the city is ensuring all procedural steps are followed to safeguard the community’s interests. However, attendees may expect changes in organization and potentially tighter security measures at upcoming events. The council members emphasize the importance of upholding traditions while ensuring public safety and fiscal responsibility in civic events.
