About Us
La Feria de Loja se realiza ininterrumpidamente desde 1829, año en que el Libertador Simón Bolívar la decretó con el afán de generar integración entre los países de la Gran Colombia, visionando a Loja como un punto nodal para el intercambio comercial y promoción cultural, constituyéndose en la primera feria de América del Sur. Desde el año 2015, conforme al decreto de Bolívar la Feria de Loja retomó su inicio en el mes de agosto, luego de la llegada a Loja de su Patrona, la Virgen de El Cisne y dio un giro en su concepto, incluyendo la innovación y el emprendimiento pero sin dejar de lado sus características tradicionales, culturales, gastronómicas y de diversión. El evento fue gestionado hasta 2015 por el Comité de Ferias de Loja, pero en 2016 fue creada la Corporación de Ferias de Loja, que es una organización no gubernamental de derecho privado, sin fines de lucro conformada por 14 instituciones públicas y privadas, que es la entidad que administra la Feria de Loja. La feria de Loja ha venido incrementado el número de expositores durante los últimos años, esto ha permitido ir especializando el evento ferial y creando nuevas alternativas de exposición y comercio para el visitante.
