MEXICO CITY · ART FAIR

The Zona Maco 2027 art fair returns to Centro Banamex, an exhibition hall in Mexico City, from Wednesday 3 to Sunday 7 February. The fair’s own ticket page lists a day ticket at MXN 540 (about US$29) online, plus a 15% service fee.

For US collectors and travelers, Zona Maco 2027 anchors Mexico City’s winter art week and suits a long weekend. A discounted sale on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November comes first, so the first thing to decide is whether to buy early.

What Zona Maco Is and Why It Matters

Zona Maco is an annual contemporary art fair in Mexico City where galleries sell paintings, sculpture, photography and design. The fair describes its main section, Zona Maco México Arte Contemporáneo, as a show of Latin American and international art.

Zona Maco 2027 also includes a design fair, an antiques salon, a photography section and a books section, according to the official site. Each section has its own gallery list, and the fair publishes a floor plan and a map of the city’s art week.

You do not need to buy art to attend Zona Maco 2027, since a ticket is a day pass to walk the aisles. Many visitors treat it as a free-form gallery tour with a few hours of people-watching.

The fair sits inside a wider February program of gallery openings and museum shows that the organisers call the art week. Our <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/mexico-city-art-week-2026-cements-latin-americas-cultural-capital-status/”>Mexico City Art Week 2026</a> report shows how last year’s edition played out.

In plain English: a day ticket gets you in once during the opening hours, and a four-day pass covers Thursday to Sunday. The Pase Platino, or platinum pass, covers all five days including VIP hours.

Hours and Dates

Zona Maco 2027 opens on Wednesday 3 February from 17:00 to 20:00 with a short evening session. Thursday 4 and Friday 5 February run from 13:00 to 20:00.

Saturday 6 February runs from 12:00 to 20:00, and Sunday 7 February runs from 11:00 to 18:00. The official page says each ticket allows one entry during the stated hours.

The fair has already listed its next editions as 9 to 13 February 2028 and 7 to 11 February 2029. Those dates matter if you want to plan a recurring trip.

The Venue and How to Get There

The fair’s ticket page gives the venue as Centro Banamex, Avenida del Conscripto 311, Lomas de Sotelo, Miguel Hidalgo borough. A map link on the page points to the address.

The home page lists Mexico City as the location but does not name the venue, so check the ticket page before you book a hotel. The fair’s contact address in Polanco is an office, not necessarily the show floor.

The organisers list special hotel rates, starting at US$203 at the Camino Real Polanco and US$1,000 at the Four Seasons Mexico City. The page does not say whether those are nightly rates, so confirm before you book.

The organisers also list an executive transport service for airport transfers and hourly hire. Requests go to the e-mail address on the fair’s services page.

Tips for US and Foreign Visitors

A Mexican consulate’s official visa page says US citizens need no visa for tourism if they stay up to 180 days. Immigration issues a Multiple Migratory Form, known as the FMM, on arrival, and it states the permitted stay.

Mexico’s official tourism portal says travelers should keep that form and hand it in when they leave. It also says the passport must be valid for the whole stay.

Children under 12 accompanied by an adult do not pay for a ticket, according to the fair’s ticket page. Students and seniors in the INAPAM program must show a card at the door.

Mexico City sits about 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) above sea level, so drink water and pace your first day. Read the US State Department’s Mexico page at travel.state.gov before you fly.

The opening evening on Wednesday 3 February is the shortest session, at three hours. Thursday and Friday give seven hours each, so plan a longer visit then.

Our <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/mexico-visa-options-2026/”>Mexico Visa Options 2026 Explained</a> guide covers longer stays and residency. Zona Maco 2027 itself needs only a tourist stay.

Book flights only after you have a ticket tier that matches your days. The online sale was not live on 28 October.

What Is Not Confirmed Yet

Online ticket sales were marked as coming soon on 28 October, and the opening date of the general sale is not published. The fair’s page names only the 6 and 7 November sale.

The terms of the sale labelled HSBC are not stated, including whether it is limited to cardholders. The ticket link on the page still carries 2026 in its address, so confirm that you are buying for 3 to 7 February 2027.

The exhibitor list, parallel events and VIP program details for 2027 are not published on the pages we checked. Check the fair’s activities page closer to the date.

The hotel rates are listed as special rates from a price, with no stated nights, dates or conditions. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote.
