Perquin: party and territorial development

Abstract

The Winter Festival Perquin (FIP) developed for 25 years in the Department of Morazán in El Salvador seeks to preserve the historical memory salvadoreña through different cultural activities that remember what lived during the Salvadoran armed conflict. Perquin has been developing territorially establishing relationships between local cultural, social system actors and political-institutional framework of the municipality as well as the different state institutions that meet in the territory. These relationships between the local and the national are made explicit in the festival and have developed a brand destination that contributes to a systemic and sustainable territorial development.
