This December, the CDMX will be filled with magic with Luces de Invierno 2025, the free Christmas festival that seeks to bring the Christmas spirit to every corner of the capital.
Although the Zócalo will be the main venue, the magic will not be concentrated only in the Historic Center: the event will display activities, shows and light sculptures in 15 public squares throughout the city.
Where will Luces de Invierno be?
From December 19 to 23, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., you will be able to enjoy installations created by cartoneros collectives and plastic artists, who transformed everyday spaces into colorful Christmas scenes.
There will be snowy walks, artificial snow, lights, smoke and effects that will turn each venue into a small festive universe. In addition, nativity scenes over three meters high will be installed, and there will be 400 piñatas in total for children and adults to live an unforgettable celebration.
