Live entertainment of all kinds, from live
theater and dance presentations to music acts of every type from live
mariachi musicians and romantic salsa dance to world-famous entertainers,
are available all over Mexico. In Mexico, you'll never be far from or wait
long for the next great performance!
Futbol
One of the most popular forms of live entertainment in Mexico is soccer,
called "futbol" in Mexico. Even if you don't know much about the game, the
sheer exuberance of the crowd and the waves of excitement that run through
with every score or great play will leave you exhilarated! And you may think
you've had "stadium food," but the delicacies you'll find especially in the
Estadio Azteca, the giant stadium in Mexico City that seats more than
110,000, will amaze.
Wrestling
Known as "lucha libre" in Mexico, is even more popular than in the United
States. Here, however, there is real emotion in the proceedings, with
wrestlers donning colorful masks and elaborate stories taking place in and
out of the ring. It's been compared to Shakespearean drama … with body
slams! And these shows, unlike some in the U.S., are safe for all ages to
see in person.
Casa de la Cultura (Cultural Center)
Dance performances, music and other artistic productions can be seen at this
cultural center and open-air theater. Ask your concierge or the locals about
performers and schedules.
Locations: San Jose Del Cabo, Acapulco, Merida, Isla Mujeres Mexico.
Los Arcos Amphitheater - Aquiles Serdan Theater
The four stone arches for which the city is known frame a beautiful sunset.
Best if you stick around to enjoy great local performers of any type in free
concerts..
Puerto Vallarta Mexico
Angela Peralta Theater
Where else outside Europe can you find an opera house more than two
centuries old that is still in operation? This is a must-see!
Mazatlan Mexico.
Plaza de Garibaldi
Just take a stroll around the plaza and you will notice Mariachi players
everywhere. Always dressed in full garb with more than one guitar at times,
these young musicians will play one-on-one if a tourist looks interested.
Request a song and they will oblige, most are gifted players. Tipping is
expected.
Mexico City, Mexico.
Ballet Folklorico de Mexico
The ballet performs twice per week in the Palacio de Bellas Artes. This very
popular ticket features various themed dances by mariachis, marimba players,
singers and dancers. The theatre alone is an architectural feat worth
seeing. Plan ahead to purchase tickets.
Mexico City, Mexico.
Plaza de Toros - Bullfighting in Cancun.
The spectacle begins with a folkloric dance exhibition followed by a
performance by the charros.
During tourist season, performances are scheduled in mid-afternoon every
Wednesday.
Cliff Diving La Quebrada
For the ridiculously low fee of $2.50, you'll watch cliff divers take
130-foot swam divers from the cliffs into a small gorge. Starting at noon,
performances go until after dark … when you'll see the divers take the
plunge clutching torches! Be prepared to tip the divers well.
Acapulco, Mexico.
Bosque de la Ciudad
Do not miss a Sunday outing to this 29-acre park in the center of the city.
The afternoon comes alive with free concerts from mariachi bands and great
entertainment for the kids!
Mazatlan, Mexico.
