They will parade through the streets of the Historic Center, starting at the Monument to the Revolution and ending at the Zócalo in Mexico City.
When will the Carnival of Carnivals take place in the Historic Center of Mexico City?
The third edition of this carnival in the Historic Center of Mexico City will take place on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Admission is free, and you can watch the event anywhere along the route.
It will be a huge party with dancing and lots of music, in which charros, chinelos, and mojigangas will be the stars. It will be just at the beginning of spring, so we recommend you bring a cap or hat to protect yourself from the sun, as it will be an outdoor event.
Don’t hesitate to visit the viewpoint of the Monument to the Revolution.
Since you’re at the Monument to the Revolution, don’t hesitate to visit its observation deck, which offers an unmissable view. The show begins as soon as you step into the panoramic elevator.
The best part is that it is open every day. Hours are from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. On Sundays, you can visit from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. You can get your tickets here.
