The first edition of the Diaspora Fair, organized on November 6 and 7, 2026, on the boulevard of Cap-Haïtien, concluded on a note of satisfaction. Bringing together entrepreneurs, craftsmen, cultural actors, institutional representatives, and members of the diaspora, this event allowed the city of Christopher to showcase its economic, tourist, and cultural assets. The Minister of Haitians Living Abroad, Kathia Verdier, the initiative behind the event, praised the success of this first experience, which also provided a framework for meetings and exchanges between Haitians living in the country and those established abroad.

Under the theme "Diaspora and Culture, Together for Haiti," the fair took place in a national context marked by significant economic and security challenges. Choosing Cap-Haïtien to host this event highlighted the capabilities of the country's second-largest city to host large-scale national events while encouraging initiatives that could contribute to regional economic development.
