Troncones Fair 2026
The Troncones Ejido’s 16th annual “Expo Feria Eco-Turistica” got off to booming, spinning and sparkly start on Friday; events are scheduled each day this week
The Castillo started to sizzle around 9:45 on Friday, its rockets, sparklers and whistles going off perfectly, just as planned. “Everyone” was there to see its magic—people of all ages, from Los Llanos to Buena Vista, from Pantla to La Unión, turning out the first night of the Troncones Fair. The villages of Saladita, La Boca and Majahua were pretty much empty, except for their cats and dogs. And in Troncones, those critters went looking for a place to hide as their owners enjoyed the loudest and brightest community celebration of the year. The community events carry on through this week, a highlight being Thursday at 6 pm—a showcase of the restaurants of Troncones—a muestra gastronomica. That’s followed by boxing at 8 pm. We’ll be updating the calendar you’ll find after the photos. Check our GO section to see if there’s anything new. We’re still looking for the time of the donkey races.

Imagine a 50-foot-tall hand-assembled tower of bamboo loaded with pyrotechnics. And hanging off the central frame are three levels of wheels, wired to go off—to reveal colorful shapes and rain sparks. That’s the Castillo, the centerpiece of the opening night of the Troncones Fair on Friday. The festivities started late Friday afternoon, with a horse parade from Majahua through Troncones that ended at the fairgrounds surrounding Troncones’ basketball cancha. The fun went into the wee hours on Saturday—carnival rides and horse events keeping “everyone” feeling like a kid.
