The Benito Juárez municipal government, through the Institute of Urban Development Planning (IMPLAN), is holding the second edition of Paseo Cancunense Nocturno this Saturday, July 18, a free, car-free route around Malecón Tajamar and Avenida Bonampak from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

The circuit is open to bicycles, roller skates, skateboards, tricycles, and pedestrians, including those walking with pets. According to the municipality, the goal is to "promote street access for residents and reclaim public space as a place for coexistence, recreation, and active mobility."

What attendees will find

  • A bicycle-loan station, with limited availability on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • A Latin-rhythm dance class led by Total Fitness 2, with music by DJ Wixel.
  • Vendor booths from women entrepreneurs in the "Ellas Facturan" municipal program, run by the Municipal Women's Institute (IMM).
  • "Adopta Fest," a pet-adoption fair with a free deworming campaign, organized by the Institute for Animal Protection and Welfare.
  • A World Cup 2026 sticker-trading activity, popular among children and adults during the tournament.

If you're driving through the area

Avenida Bonampak and Malecón Tajamar will have traffic modifications between 5:30 and 9:30 p.m. Drivers passing through during that window should plan an alternate route, since the lanes will be reserved for the event.

Practical tips

Local Civil Protection authorities forecast a heat index of up to 40°C (104°F) during the evening, so organizers recommend bringing water, wearing light clothing, and, for cyclists and skaters, using lights or reflective gear, since the route takes place after dark.

This nighttime edition complements the long-running Sunday-morning Paseo Cancunense, held on the same avenue for more than a decade and now in its tenth-plus edition. With the nighttime version, the municipality aims to offer an active-mobility and family-recreation option at a cooler hour, along the Nichupté Lagoon waterfront.

Admission is free and no registration is required. The meeting point is the circuit itself along Avenida Bonampak, near Malecón Tajamar, in Cancún, Quintana Roo.
