Zona Maco 2027 runs from 3 to 7 February 2027 in Mexico City, with public hours from 11:00 or 12:00 until 18:00 or 20:00 depending on the day, according to the fair’s own tickets page. You can buy art there, but the fair is a sprint: the first lap is for looking, and the decisions are better made on the second day. This guide gives the official hours, explains the fair’s sections and sets out how to buy well, whether you buy at the fair or after it.
Key takeaways
- The next ZⓈONAMACO runs 3 to 7 February 2027; the fair’s site also lists 9 to 13 February 2028 and 7 to 11 February 2029.
- Public hours on the tickets page: Wednesday 17:00 to 20:00, Thursday and Friday 13:00 to 20:00, Saturday 12:00 to 20:00 and Sunday 11:00 to 18:00.
- The main section, México Arte Contemporáneo, has four parts: Sección General, Ejes, Sur and Arte Moderno. Diseño, Salón del Anticuario and Foto run alongside it.
- The fair’s home page does not name a venue for 2027. Our exhibition page lists Centro Citibanamex, last verified on 8 October 2026, so confirm it before you book.
- Salón ACME No. 14, an emerging fair, runs 4 to 8 February 2027. Material has not published 2027 dates on its own site.
- Ask the price first, agree shipping in writing before you pay, and keep a shortlist of no more than six galleries.

What are the Zona Maco 2027 dates and hours?
The fair’s own site gives the next edition as 3 to 7 February 2027. The tickets page then breaks the five days into public hours, which we copied on 9 November 2026. The first day is an evening opening, so the first full day to see the fair is Thursday.
| Day | Date | Public hours (Mexico City time) |
|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | 3 February 2027 | 17:00 to 20:00 |
| Thursday | 4 February 2027 | 13:00 to 20:00 |
| Friday | 5 February 2027 | 13:00 to 20:00 |
| Saturday | 6 February 2027 | 12:00 to 20:00 |
| Sunday | 7 February 2027 | 11:00 to 18:00 |
The tickets page lists several ticket types, including general, student and senior, opening-day and a multi-day pass, and many entries were marked as coming soon when we read it. It also says a 15% service charge is added at checkout. We do not quote prices here because they can change before sales open; take them from the official tickets page.
The name is stylised by the fair as ZⓈONAMACO, and its address is zsonamaco.com. On this page we write Zona Maco so that the name matches what most people type. For our dated listing of the fair, with an add-to-calendar file, see the ZⓈONAMACO 2027 page.
Which sections matter if you want to buy?
The fair is several fairs under one name. Its home page describes ZⓈONAMACO México Arte Contemporáneo as the leading art fair in Latin America, and lists four parts of it. Three other fairs run alongside.
| Section | What the fair says it covers | Useful if you want |
|---|---|---|
| Sección General | A part of México Arte Contemporáneo | Confirm the galleries in the exhibitor list |
| Ejes | A part of México Arte Contemporáneo | Confirm the galleries in the exhibitor list |
| Sur | A part of México Arte Contemporáneo | Confirm the galleries in the exhibitor list |
| Arte Moderno | A part of México Arte Contemporáneo | Modern art; confirm the galleries in the exhibitor list |
| Diseño | Contemporary design: furniture, jewellery and decorative objects | Objects for the home |
| Salón del Anticuario | Antiques and pieces of heritage value | Antiques |
| Foto | Contemporary photography | Photographs and editions |
We have not described the focus of the four art parts, because the fair’s home page names them without describing them. The exhibitor list for 2027 is the place to confirm which galleries sit in which section. The fair’s site also has an Emergente page, but on 9 November it describes an emerging-design project with two co-curators, not an emerging-art section, so do not read it as one.
If your interest is emerging painting, photography and sculpture at lower price points, the fair’s smaller neighbours may suit you better, and our guide to the whole week shows how they fit together.
Where is Zona Maco 2027 held?
On 9 November 2026 the fair’s home page gave the dates but did not name a venue for 2027. Our exhibition page for the fair lists Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City, last verified on 8 October 2026. Treat that as likely but unconfirmed until the fair publishes the venue itself, and book hotels with that in mind. We will update this page when the organiser confirms it.
How should you buy art at a fair?
A fair is built to make everything look slightly better than it will at home, so the method matters more than the budget. Our general guide on how to buy art at an art fair covers it in full. Applied to Zona Maco, five rules do most of the work.
- Pick six galleries before you arrive. Use the exhibitor list to mark the galleries whose programme you already like. A shortlist turns a five-day fair into a plan.
- Walk one lap before you talk. On the opening evening, look without buying. Come back on Thursday or Friday, when the hall is easier to read.
- Ask the price out loud. A direct question is normal. If a gallery will not give a price, our note on what “price on request” means explains how to ask again.
- Ask what comes with the work. A certificate of authenticity, the edition number if it is a print or photograph, and the condition. Our guide to certificates of authenticity lists what a good one contains.
- Agree shipping in writing before you pay. This is where fair purchases most often go wrong. Ask who packs, who insures and who pays duties if the work leaves Mexico.
Booths show only a fraction of what a gallery brought, so ask what else they have. Looking is also a complete goal for a first visit; people who feel they must come home with a purchase tend to buy worse.
What else is open the same week?
Zona Maco is the large commercial fair, but Art Week is wider. Salón ACME No. 14 runs 4 to 8 February 2027, according to its own site, and it puts emerging artists in dialogue with established ones. Material, the other emerging fair, had published no 2027 dates on its own site on 9 November 2026, so any date you see for it elsewhere is unconfirmed. Our guide to Material and Salón ACME separates what is confirmed from what is not.
Gallery openings, museum shows and neighbourhood routes for the same days are collected in the Mexico City Art Week 2027 guide, which we update every Thursday until the week. Most galleries close on Mondays, and the city’s galleries cluster in the Roma, San Miguel Chapultepec and Juárez neighbourhoods, so plan a gallery day around the Roma gallery walk rather than crossing town several times.
What if you decide after the fair?
Many people come home from a fair still thinking about one work, and that is a good sign. Art of NOMA sells original work by about forty emerging artists with the price on every page, and ships worldwide. You can browse the works and prices, or ask a curator about a piece; if you are in Mexico City, viewings are arranged by appointment. Our FAQ answers payment, certificate and shipping questions in one place, and the step-by-step guide to buying original art online from Mexico City shows how an order works.
