We haven’t even gotten over the Day of the Dead yet, and November’s plans in Mexico City are already piling up. Especially for literature lovers, because on November 12, Mexico celebrates its National Book Day.
And beyond this weekend’s 2026 Edible Book Fair, there’s another perfect event for those with a nostalgic streak: a ballet performance of *Sleeping Beauty* on Saturday, November 7, 2026. It will be at the La Salle Theater, and there are only two performances available that day.

Sleeping Beauty at the La Salle Theater in San Fernando
It’s not a typical ballet performance, but one by Ballet of Lights. This series of ballet shows is based on the timeless fairy tales of our childhood but with a special twist: the dancers’ costumes are illuminated.
A fusion of the classical and the contemporary that makes for the kind of family outing in Mexico City where even the adults end up staring at the stage in awe.
Especially since it will take place at the modern La Salle Theater, which boasts excellent acoustics and an adaptable seating capacity. What does that mean? It means it’s an ideal venue designed for artistic performances and presentations of all kinds.
Date and time of the “Sleeping Beauty” ballet in Mexico City

In any case, it’s best to check in advance for availability and the showtimes that work best for you. All performances are at the La Salle Theater, which is accessible to both wheelchair users and those on crutches and is just a few blocks from the Plaza de la Constitución.
