The Cactus Cultural Festival is celebrating its tenth anniversary at one of the most beautiful venues in the southern part of the city: the Casa del Risco Museum, right in the heart of San Ángel.
This event brings together growers, collectors, and plant lovers under a clear theme: “cultivate to conserve.” For four days, this historic venue transforms into a green gathering spot where you can learn, shop, and discover the richness of cacti.
The contrast between the museum’s architecture and the diversity of plants creates a unique visual experience, ideal both for botany enthusiasts and for those simply looking for something different to do in Mexico City.
Workshops, lectures, and plant sales for everyone
In addition to finding a wide variety of cacti —from common species to rarer specimens—the festival will offer lectures and workshops led by specialists.
Here you can learn everything from the basics to more advanced techniques for care, cultivation, and conservation. It’s the perfect plan to start your collection or expand the one you already have.
The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, and perfect for strolling around at your own pace. Plus, since it’s a free event, it’s a great option for planning an outing without breaking the bank.
