Mexican‑Style Christmas Carols | A Mariachi Christmas on the Heart of Mexico
San Miguel de Allende leans into the magic of the season with “Mexican‑Style Christmas Carols,” a free open‑air concert by Mariachi Sonidos de México at Plaza La Luciérnaga on December 21 at 7 p.m. Set against the backdrop of the city’s modern lifestyle plaza, the ensemble gives classic Christmas carols a distinctly Mexican flair, filling the shopping center’s terraces and walkways with trumpets, strings and rich harmonies that invite families, expats and visitors to stop, listen and sing along.
As part of La Luciérnaga’s December lineup of music, art and community events, the evening offers an easy way to experience local culture beyond the historic centro, pairing holiday shopping and dining with live mariachi in one of San Miguel’s key gathering places. “Villancicos a la Mexicana” promises a warm, welcoming snapshot of Christmas in the Bajío—where tradition, everyday life and festive music blend seamlessly under the night sky.
