On New Year’s Eve, Mexico City will turn a very big street called Paseo de la Reforma into a huge place to dance and have fun. People will listen to loud electronic music, see colorful lights, and dance near a famous statue called the Angel of Independence. The city’s leader is inviting families, friends, kids, and adults to come together and celebrate the start of the new year outside in the open air. There will be many artists playing music so people can jump, sing, and enjoy the night as a big community.
This party is also part of the city’s Christmas and holiday activities. The downtown area will have shiny Christmas trees, bright light decorations, and a long tunnel of lights where people can walk and take pictures. There will also be a very big nativity scene and many small stands selling traditional Mexican things made by hand. During the holidays, the city will offer shows, music, and stories every day so that families can enjoy time together and feel proud of their city’s culture.
