Cielo Mágico is ready to celebrate its tenth anniversary, and Phase 1 ticket sales have already begun. From October 23 to 25, 2026 , Santiago, Nuevo León, will once again become the setting for one of the state’s most anticipated festivals, where hot air balloons, light shows, and live music will take center stage.
The 2026 edition promises experiences for all tastes. Early risers can enjoy the sunrise as hot air balloons are inflated and take off, while those seeking a nighttime experience will find concerts, visual shows, and the traditional Magic Lights Show that illuminates the sky at nightfall.
There will be an art installation coming straight from Burning Man
One of this year’s major attractions will be the arrival—for the first time in Nuevo León—of a light art installation from Burning Man, one of the world’s most renowned artistic gatherings. The piece will be part of the special activities with which Cielo Mágico will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
In addition, the festival will feature “Ilumina,” an interactive light and sound experience driven by audience participation, as well as a small entrepreneurs’ market, a food boulevard, a wellness area, a beer garden, and various amenities for the whole family.
Tickets, schedules, and experiences available
Attendees can choose between AM, PM, or Full-Day experiences. The morning option includes the sunrise hot-air balloon show, while the PM experience offers access to the concerts and the Magic Lights Show. For those who don’t want to miss a thing, the Full-Day pass allows you to enjoy all activities from morning until night.
