Bullfighting events have been held in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and Alcázar de San Juan, Spain, for various charitable and commemorative purposes.

In Aguascalientes, a charity festival at the San Francisco ranch supported the non-profit Bienestar e Integración Familiar (BIFAM). A large festival is also planned for December 12, 2026, to mark 500 years of bullfighting in Mexico, benefiting the Alfonso Ramírez ‘El Calesero’ Municipal Bullfighting Academy.

In Alcázar de San Juan, the “Tierra del Quijote” practical classes concluded with Hugo Reinosa winning the trophy. This was followed by a festival honoring the newborn daughter of organizer Óscar Castellanos, featuring performances by Antonio Sánchez Puerto, Víctor Puerto, and Curro Díaz.
