MEXICO CITY — Food enthusiasts in Mexico City are preparing for a culinary celebration with the announcement of the 2026 Regional Pulque and Barbacoa Fair. The event is scheduled to take place from November 13 to 15, offering a traditional weekend experience featuring some of the region’s most iconic flavors.

The gastronomic fair will be held at the Magdalena Contreras borough plaza (José Moreno Salido S/N, Barranca Seca neighborhood). Operating from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily, the event will showcase a wide array of traditional Mexican dishes, including barbacoa tacos and consomé, alongside a diverse selection of artisanal pulque and various “curados” (pulque mixed with fruits or other ingredients).

In addition to the primary culinary offerings, the fair will feature:

• Traditional Mexican sweets and artisanal crafts.

• A variety of local snacks and regional specialties.

Organized by the Magdalena Contreras local government, this second edition of the fair aims to highlight the rich culinary heritage of the area. It provides a significant opportunity for residents and tourists to enjoy a festive atmosphere while exploring local gastronomy.

The event coincides with a long weekend in Mexico, as Monday, November 16, is an official holiday commemorating the start of the Mexican Revolution. Authorities encourage visitors to use the holiday break to explore the regional flavors and cultural offerings of the festival.
