Freeride's Biggest Fiesta Is Back for 2026

"Freeride Fiesta has marked its return for 2026, and with a little more than three weeks until showtime, the biggest freeride event in Latin America is set to come back in all-time fashion. With a newly renovated course, an all-new lineup of riders, and the same culture-forward format we know and love, this year's event is shaping up to be a good one."

"If you've been paying attention over the last few winters, you already know the formula: huge jumps, a weeklong jam vibe, and a public day that feels less like an event and more like a cultural exchange between the global freeride scene and the local community that's helped build it. Set against the iconic sunsets of La Soledad Bike Park outside of Guadalajara, the event hosts riders from across the globe while ensuring that community and culture remain at the forefront of the festivities."

"And if you haven't been paying attention, Freeride Fiesta has been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) becoming one of the most important freeride gatherings in Latin America-largely because it's never tried to be a contest. From day one, Freeride Fiesta has been about the people. It's a cultural exchange of sorts, bringing together some of the top names in the sport with the local community."

Freeride Fiesta returns for 2026 with a renovated course, a new lineup of riders, and a culture-forward format centered on community. The event features huge jumps, a weeklong jam vibe, and a public day presented as a cultural exchange between the global freeride scene and the local community. La Soledad Bike Park outside Guadalajara provides the sunset backdrop as riders from across the globe gather. The event avoids competitive contest structure and focuses on people, giving up-and-comers a stage alongside established riders. The 2026 roster includes young Weston Lukens and veterans such as Antoine Bizet, Clemens Kaudela, Szymon Godziek, and Johny Salido. Off-bike elements include food vendors, athlete meet-and-greets, mariachi bands, and an all-day party atmosphere aimed at expanding the riding scene in Latin America and beyond.
