About
Бързи факти: Local families and street performers gather nightly under strings of warm lights, turning the park into a lively, community-first hangout. Snack stalls offer everything from crispy marquesitas to smoky cochinita pibil tacos, often for less than 100 pesos.
Акценти: Live music spills from the bandstand as crowds of more than 1,000 sway under colorful paper lanterns, the air thick with grilled corn and cinnamon. A beloved nightly ritual sees a vendor ring a brass bell three times to mark the start of the artisanal market, a quirky tradition locals call "La Campanada".
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer for cooler nights.
- Bring mosquito repellent during the rainy season, especially after sundown.
- Arrive around 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays or before 7 p.m. on weekends to grab seating near the stage.
- For photos, use the central stage and the food-cart row when lights switch on, and skip the pricier souvenir stalls on the north side.
