A city with a face of stone and a soul of silver, Zacatecas is a metropolis that always has something to delight travelers, and from April 12th to 26th, the options multiply with its traditional cultural festival.
The Zacatecas Cultural Festival reaches its 39th edition, becoming one of the most highly regarded art, music, and gastronomy events nationwide, with a lineup that offers entertainment for all audiences.
With more than 250 activities, almost all of them free, the festival expects to attract more than 250,000 attendees throughout its activities, with a significant portion of them traveling from Jalisco.
The program offers concerts (open-air and indoors), where you can delight your senses through a variety of genres, from jazz to rock, new wave flamenco, and mariachis with traditional touches.

The Miguel Auza Plaza will be open to both experimental and traditional offerings, united by the intimate feel this space offers. Performing acts include Los Rurales de Zacatecas (April 14th), Nayave Mehr Band (April 18th), Luna Negra (April 21st), and Antidoping (April 26th).
