Feria y Festival del Alfeñique, Toluca 2026

Toluca's Feria del Alfeñique celebrates the local tradition of alfeñique — intricately hand-molded sugar-paste figures, including sugar skulls — made by more than 80 artisans in the Centro Histórico's Portales arcade. The mid-October 2026 fair pairs the craft market with over 250 associated cultural activities including music, theater, and craft demonstrations, tied to Day of the Dead traditions. It is one of the largest sugar-craft markets in Mexico. (Date shown is estimated from the event's typical annual timing — confirm with the organizer closer to the date.)
