Events and culture

Mexican culture is something you live here

Music, dance, artisans working live and workshops you can join. The line-up is coordinated with ship arrivals, so there's always something happening when you step ashore.

What you'll find

Four kinds of activity spread across the complex throughout the day. All free to attend, no booking needed.

Live music

Trios, mariachi and regional Mexican music in the plazas of the complex.

Folk dance

Ballet folklórico and performances of traditional Mexican dance.

Craft demonstrations

Artisans working live: textiles, ceramics, jewelry and carving.

Workshops for visitors

Hands-on activities: chocolate tastings, cooking and crafts.

Line-up being put together

We haven't published dates or performers yet: we'd rather not announce a schedule that isn't confirmed. As soon as the complex shares its calendar, every event will appear here with its day, time and location.

Schedule

Activities are coordinated with ship arrivals, so the line-up changes every week.

Complex hours

Open every day from 7:00 to 22:00. Most activities run between 11:00 and 19:00.

Where they happen

In the plazas and walkways of the complex, inside the cruise terminal. Free entry.
