Overview
- The procession will travel along Avenida Madero from the Fuente de Las Tarascas to the Cathedral/Plaza de Armas in the city center.
- Police plan to guide traffic and implement road closures, with confiscation of alcoholic beverages and machetes and detention for repeat violations.
- Monitoring will extend to the return of contingents to their neighborhoods to reduce fights and disturbances after the parade, following 2025 removals of about 20 drinks and one arrest.
- The municipal Culture Secretariat opened registration from January 19 to 30 to grant 2,000‑peso support to up to 50 torito makers, requiring ID, CURP and proof of address plus torito details.
- Organizers anticipate roughly 100 toritos before an audience near 50,000, and a youth-led documentary on the tradition begins filming next week with municipal backing.
