San Francisco de Asís is also known as "Tata Chico" in Tonalá, where they have the custom that the saint is carried through the main streets of the city.
In Tonalá, the fair of San Francisco de Asís is considered one of the most crowded in the state, after Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Tapachula, San Cristóbal, Comitán and Chiapa de Corzo. Thousands of Tonaltecos from all the communities and neighboring municipalities attend the festivity in honor of "Tata Chico", who took the opportunity to visit the saint and asked for help with their daily problems.
The community sets up and improvises sales where they offer delicious snacks, pozole, tamales, among other dishes. In the afternoon you can see and hear the marimba music of the tropical groups. The festival is both religious and cultural.
