Last Friday, July 11, the videomapping show Memoria Luminosa Mexico Tenochtitlan 700 years kicked off. If you were not able to see it over the weekend, don’t worry because there is still time to go. We bring you the details and schedule of the light show in the Zócalo.
The first thing you need to know is that this videomapping show will be projected on the National Palace building and the Metropolitan Cathedral from July 11 to 27, 2025. The projection is accompanied by music, animation and lights, which will take you on a 700-year journey through the history of Mexico City.
According to a bulletin from the Mexico City Government, this show starts with the migration from Aztlan and addresses different historical moments of the CDMX, such as the inauguration of the Metro and the Independence of Mexico, for example.
You will even see different characters, from Pedro Infante and Cantinflas to Juan Gabriel, Frida Kahlo and Elena Poniatowska. The show is free and takes place during the evenings.
Mexico City Zócalo light show schedule
Every day there are two shows: one at 8:00 pm and the other at 9:30 pm. Keep in mind that each show lasts about an hour, so be well prepared with an umbrella or raincoat in case it rains. Remember that Tlaloc usually appears during the evenings.
The last day to see him will be Sunday, July 27. Take advantage of the weekend to see this spectacle which pays homage to the founding of Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Here is a small sample of what you will see.
