Mexico City Screens Restored 1990 Juan Gabriel Bellas Artes Concert at Zócalo Tonight

The free projection, produced by Netflix with the city’s Culture Secretariat, showcases newly uncovered footage linked to a recent documentary.

Overview

  • Screening begins at 8 p.m. in the Zócalo with free entry and no tickets or registration required.
  • Authorities project a crowd of roughly 70,000 and urge public transit use due to likely street closures and heavy congestion in the Centro Histórico.
  • The Zócalo/Tenochtitlan Metro station may close; recommended nearby stops include Allende, Pino Suárez and Bellas Artes, with Metrobús Line 4 as another option.
  • Drivers are advised to avoid avenues such as 20 de Noviembre, Av. Juárez, Eje Central and Av. Hidalgo, using corridors like Eje 1 Oriente, Izazaga and Viaducto as alternatives.
  • The film is the singer’s landmark first Bellas Artes recital from 1990 and the tribute is complemented by a Pop‑Up Shop in the historic center and a free photo exhibition along Paseo de la Reforma and at Metro Bellas Artes.
