The countdown to the 2026 World Cup has already begun, and in Monterrey there will be a very special way to experience the World Cup atmosphere. The Museum of Mexican History, the Museum of the Northeast, and the Palace Museum have organized the World Cup Festival, a free cultural program featuring activities for all ages.
From June 6 to 28, 2026, these venues will open their doors to offer a multicultural experience designed to introduce visitors to the diverse artistic expressions and traditions of the countries participating in the tournament. The initiative combines culture, entertainment, and family fun all in one place.
A cultural tour of the world without leaving Monterrey
