considered the main corn producer of the state, however, due to the diversification of crops, it has since lost that title. Livestock (cattle) and lumber (mesquite) are also widely produced from its various forest areas for exportation. A major state bus company, Autobuses Cerritenses, is headquartered in Cerritos. Culture Cerritos hosts an annual "Feria," or traveling carnival in honor of the patron saint, San Juan Bautista for about a week and a half until the main celebration on June 24. This festivity consists of booths that sell artifacts, ceramics, pottery, regional delicacies, food, drinks, games, literature, and small widgets among other things. Rides are also a main attraction of the carnival. A stage is also constructed for shows, regional and national folklore dances, musicians, speeches, and plays. Many tourists come from all parts of the state of San Luis Potosí and from the United States for this traditional event, though most tourists are returning residents and their families who now live in the United States.
