Festivals and cultural events México

For a week, a book fair is organised on the Place Square and in various museums in the historic centre. On this occasion, editorial houses come to present the titles they publish, and different artistic and cultural activities are planned to promote reading between the population. 

Every year, on the occasion of Gay Gay Day, gay, lesbian and especially community in Mexico City organizes a huge demonstration that leaves the Monument to Independence and ends on the Place du Zócalo.

Founded in 1997 at the initiative of the French Embassy and the French Alliance of Mexico, this festival allows you to discover French films and Mexican short films of recent production. Several cinés from the capital participate in the event. Consult the programming on the Web site. 

One of the most important festivals in Mexico is held in the capital's baseball stadium, Foro Sol. It's the Mecca for rock fans, who gather there every year to celebrate international and national stars. It's a chance to listen to rock music in Spanish (but not only) for the first time in your life. Other musical styles are represented, including ska and reggae bands. Warm up for two days and face five stages. Vive Latino is one of the biggest rock festivals in Latin America.
