Mexico is hosting several major gastronomic and cultural celebrations in late September and October 2026.

In Mexico City, the ‘Gran Elotiza Nacional’ is scheduled for September 29 at the Zócalo to celebrate National Corn Day. The event aims to honor the cultural and nutritional importance of corn through traditional foods, workshops, and activities highlighting indigenous languages.

In October, the festivities continue with the 49th National Mole Fair in San Pedro Atocpan, a major production hub, and the 14th Expo Tequila in San Pedro Tlaquepaque. The tequila expo will feature over 150 brands of tequila, raicilla, and mezcal, alongside certification awards from the Tequila Regulatory Council.
