You already have your tickets for Candlelight CDMX, and you can’t wait for the day to arrive. But, admit it, I’m sure you’ve already had those doubts that always come up before a big plan: what should I wear? Can I take pictures? What is the place like? Don’t worry, here we tell you everything you need to know to enjoy this experience to the fullest. Before you dive into the glow of candlelight and the magic of live music, find out the five things you should know before you go. Because when it comes to Candlelight, every detail counts.
1. The history and curiosities about the concert venue enrich (even more) the experience.
At Candlelight, the place where you sit is as important as the music you listen to. Did you know that El Cantoral, for example, was designed as a giant score, in homage to Carlos Chávez? Each curve seems to follow the beat of an invisible melody. And just as this venue has its magic, each one of Candlelight’s locations in CDMX hides stories and unique details. Knowing them will make you not only see the place when you enter, but also feel it, as one more note in the harmony of the night.
2. Is it possible to take pictures?
We know that candlelight and live music are irresistible for the camera, but at Candlelight there is a golden rule: live the moment. Photos and videos are welcome, but only before the concert starts and at the end, when the musicians say so (usually during the last piece). Until then, let your eyes be the lens and your memory the gallery. Oh, and don’t forget to put your cell phone on silent!
3. No dress code
At Candlelight it doesn’t matter if you come in your best clothes or your most casual look: what really counts here is that you feel comfortable. Although many choose a smart casual style for the occasion, you have the last word. At the end of the day, the music doesn’t judge and the candles light up just as beautifully whether you’re wearing a suit, a dress or your favorite jeans. Isn’t that great?
4. What awaits your arrival
From the moment you set foot in the entrance, you’ll notice that everything is designed to make your experience unique. The Candlelight team will be ready to guide you, answer your questions and make sure you find your seating area without any problem. In some places you will even be able to enjoy a drink before the concert (depending on the location and plan).
And even though the candles you’ll see are LED candles, rest assured: the atmosphere is still amazing. Imagine thousands of perfectly placed candles, creating a warm, enveloping flicker that transforms any space into something truly special.
5. Candlelight’s entrances are flexible
Your plans changed? No problem. You can change the date or time of your concert up to 48 hours in advance, subject to availability. Plus, with concerts in cities all over the world, Candlelight is the perfect plan to complete that vacation or to give as a gift with a Candlelight Gift Card– the magic of music, wherever and whenever you want it!
