Two of our country’s cultural symbols will merge in one amazing event! La Noche del Axolotl will combine the Day of the Dead and the ajolote to celebrate our traditions with one of Mexico’s most iconic animals.
There will be everything for people of all ages to have a great time. Talks, art, presentations and even food. For two days, this will be a great gathering to celebrate one of the most important festivities in the country.
When and where will Noche del Axolotl take place?
Both the Day of the Dead and the axolotl are Mexican icons that have great importance in our history. With roots in pre-Hispanic mythology, they are currently two representations of Mexico.
So, if you are one of those who like to celebrate this time of year with Mexican traditions, make a note in your agenda for the Night of the Axolotl, whose seventh edition will take place on November 1 and 2 from 12:00 to 20:00 at Casa Jaime Sabines (Av. Revolución 1747, San Ángel, Álvaro Obregón).
This will be a fun event, but at the same time full of learning because there will be conferences, workshops and documentaries as well as surprising artistic expressions with theater, dance and live music.
And if there is something that characterizes the Day of the Dead, it is the delicious food with which it is celebrated. So you will also enjoy wonderful recipes at the food bazaar.
With the charm of the ajolote and the cultural richness of the date that honors death, this festival will take all its visitors on a journey through flavors, sounds and colors that will honor the Mexican memory.
And best of all, admission is completely free, so if you still don’t have plans for the holiday season dedicated to the departed, this festival is a great idea to make sure the season doesn’t go unnoticed.
