For the third time, chinampa producers in Xochimilco, in collaboration with Producciones Azul Celeste and the Xochimilco municipality, are preparing a new edition of the Ax-Elote Cultural Festival. [^2]

A dedicated space called an ajolotario will be set up where experts on the care and conservation of the axolotl will provide information to visitors. [^3]

The festival aims to strengthen awareness about the importance of conserving the natural areas of the chinampas and preserving the ancient chinampa agricultural system. [^4]

Víctor Manuel Velasco, a member of Tradición Chinampera, stated that the festival aims to give identity to chinampa corn production rather than compete with other corn fairs in the capital. [^5]

According to the Xochimilco municipality, the festival aims to bring people closer to Mexican customs, encourage the consumption of regional products, and contribute to the local economy. [^6]
