Fiesta San Antonio 2026 Charreria

A Charro sits on a bull in the bull chute before the start of the Monta Torro (bull riding event) during Fiesta San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas, United States, on April 26, 2026. In this event, Charros attempt to stay on a bucking bull until it stops and then safely dismount. Founded in 1947, the San Antonio Charro Association is dedicated to preserving the traditions of charreria, Mexico's national sport. Charreria is the forerunner to American rodeo.
