The largest cultural event taking place in Mexico in April is the Festival de Mexico en el Centro Historico, from the 10th to the 27th. This will be the 24th edition of this annual festival which includes concerts, theater and dance performances, visual arts exhibits and many activities for children. Events will take place in theaters, museums and historical buildings throughout Mexico City's historic center and some are free, including the closing concert which will take place in the Zocalo on April 27th at 6 pm.

Every year the festival contributes to the rescue and restoration of art in public spaces of Mexico City's historic downtown area. This year's project was the restoration of two seventeenth Century paintings attributed to colonial painter Juan Rodríguez Juárez, in the Metropolitan Cathedral. The restored paintings will be presented at a ceremony on April 17th at 7 pm, in the Cathedral. A classical music concert by the Morgan Szymanski ensamble will follow the ceremony. Tickets to this event cost 300 pesos.
