Welcome to pyromexicana.com, a site dedicated to the art of pyrotechnics with a distinct Mexican flare. For those of you who are familiar with the town of Tultepec and its annual fireworks fair, you'll agree that the passion for fireworks among the people of Mexico runs deep. Fireworks in Mexico are intimately wired to the religious and secular culture of celebration of the country.
If you are not familiar with Tultepec and Mexican pyrotechnics, I invite you to check out the photo galleries and video clips. Also, you will soon be able to purchase online the DVD titles,"Dancing with Bulls" and "Tultepec: Land of Fireworks." E-mail me so I can contact you when they are ready for shipping.
Feel like traveling and attending a Mexican pyrotechnics fair where you can see old and new technologies and materials, the combination of international and native traditions, you'll find here information on places and dates. |

My thanks and appreciation to Mexican pyrotechnicians, especially the Reyes family from Tultepec and the Ramos family from Zumpango, for their support and for inspiring me to create this web site to honor their work.
