Machaca Festival

Machaca Fest is held in Monterrey, in the state of Nuevo León, and celebrates Latin American and Spanish-language rock alongside international acts. Rooted in the city's bar scene since the 1990s and formally established as a festival in 2011, it later settled at Parque Fundidora before moving between other venues. Beyond the live music, it offers interactive art installations, food trucks and chill-out areas, all part of a festive atmosphere typical of northern Mexico.
