Celebrate Mexico Now Festival 2022 Brings Contemporary Mexican Culture to NYC

Celebrate Mexico Now Festival 2022 is New York City’s festival of contemporary Mexican culture. The festival is produced by CN Management, one of NYC’s top Mexican American programmers. It has presented over 300 Mexican artists in NYC’s leading cultural venues.

Mexico has such great historic traditions that it is easy to miss what is happening there now. Many have reported that Mexico City culture is even more progressive than New York City culture. It’s young and the future belongs to the young.

Mexico is important because we are neighbors with a long, complicated familial relationship. New York City has had a Caribbean focus since at least the 1940s, but most Latins in the United States are Mexican Americans. The Mexican American community used to be regionalized in the Southwest, but is now everywhere. We are the second largest Spanish-speaking country after Mexico. Two-thirds of what became the United States was once Mexico.

We are forecast to become NYC’s largest Latin community. You can already see the change in NYC’s traditional Latin communities.
