If listening to mariachi at one of Mexico City’s most iconic cultural venues already sounds like a great plan, wait until you hear that admission is free. This Wednesday, September 30, the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes will host a special concert as part of the Museum Night activities.
The BFM’s Mariachi Real de Jalisco will provide the evening’s music, performing at 7:00 p.m. The concert has a capacity of 800 people, so it’s worth keeping this in mind before planning your visit.
The performance will take place in the Mural Area and the museum’s lobby, allowing Mexican music to blend with one of the Palacio de Bellas Artes’ most recognizable artistic spaces.
A free mariachi concert at Bellas Artes
The event is an opportunity to listen to mariachi music in an unusual setting. Instead of a theater or a public square, the music will resonate through the museum’s spaces and among its collection of murals.
In addition, the concert is part of Museum Night, a program that brings together various cultural activities on the last Wednesday of every month at venues throughout Mexico City.
No admission fee has been announced for this event: admission will be free, although please note that capacity is limited to 800 attendees.
