Events celebrating Mexican charrería traditions have been held across different regions to promote cultural identity and equestrian skills.

In San Juan del Río, Querétaro, a charreada was organized to mark International Youth Day. The event aimed to engage younger generations with national sports and history, with officials stating, “We want our youth to know, enjoy, and make our traditions their own.”

Following this, the third edition of CharroFest took place in Mexico City. Aligned with UNESCO’s recognition of charrería as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the festival included music, gastronomy, and competitions where Charros de Huichapan secured first place. Further festivities, including a Gran Charreada, were scheduled to support teams preparing for a national tournament in San Luis Potosí.
