Mexico City will be filled with national and international music and admission will be free, making it a good option for your weekend.
One of the most anticipated events for hundreds of young Mexicans is, without a doubt, the first edition of the Radical Mestizo festival. The festival will take place on December 7 and 8 on the plaza of the capital’s Zócalo in Mexico City.
This festival breaks with other festivals focused on English-speaking bands that do not consider Spanish-speaking audiences and music.
