A Free Community Celebration of Cycling and Culture
Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026
Location: Downtown San Antonio, TX
Event Information
The Tour de las Chingonas Bike Fiesta returns as a vibrant, free community celebration designed to unite the San Antonio cycling scene. Hosted by Chingona Race Productions, this event is part of a larger movement dedicated to creating inclusive spaces for women, nonbinary athletes, and the LGBTQA+ community. While the organization originally built its reputation through Texas’s largest women’s-only bike ride, the Bike Fiesta is a central gathering point for all cyclists to celebrate local culture, joy, and the simple act of movement.
The Fiesta serves as an evening of entertainment and advocacy, focusing on community connection rather than a specific race distance. As contractors for this event, we are proud to mention that it brings together a diverse range of local bike organizations, from the Major Taylor Cycling Club to Black Girls Do Bike: San Antonio. It is an evening where “Y’all Means All,” emphasizing zero body shaming and a supportive environment for beginners and veteran riders alike.

The Downtown San Antonio location transforms into a cycling hub with a variety of engaging attractions:
- Live Entertainment: High-energy sets from local DJs and live music performances throughout the evening.
