Oh là là! This October, you’ll be able to experience French culture without leaving the city—and closer than ever before: in Chapultepec. The France Festival in Aztlán will feature two days dedicated to cuisine, culture, workshops, and music as part of a very special celebration between the two countries.
This cultural event, announced as the France-Mexico B2C Festival, will take place on October 24 and 25, 2026 , in Aztlán at the Chapultepec Fairgrounds. The event will combine elements from both countries to celebrate culture and the art de vivre.
You should know that the festival is part of France Week 2026, an initiative of CCI France Mexico that will feature activities in Mexico City from October 19 to 25.
What will the France Festival in Aztlán have to offer?
What has been confirmed so far is that during the festival you’ll find booths, workshops, music, and culinary activities, in an event designed to celebrate Mexican and French culture.
For now, the detailed program has not been released, so we’ll still have to wait to find out exactly what culinary offerings, participants, and activities will be featured over the two days.
The schedule, as well as the cost and admission requirements, have not yet been announced. These details are still to be confirmed.
Mexico and France Celebrate 200 Years of Diplomatic Relations
There’s a reason behind this celebration: 2026 marks the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mexico and France.
In this context, Mexico City will host various activities from October 19 to 25. The France Week schedule includes events such as thematic forums, networking sessions, dinners, a job fair, and the France-Mexico B2C Festival at Aztlán.
So if cultural and culinary experiences are your thing, mark the last weekend of this celebration on your calendar: the festival will take place right in the heart of Chapultepec Forest.
