There’s not much in the way of cultural events or performing arts in Cancun. Xcaret, an hour south of Cancun, hosts nightly Mayan-themed shows featuring local songs and dances.
The Cancun bull ring hosts occasional concerts, boxing matches and special events, though they are mostly targeted toward the local population rather than to tourists.
Most all-inclusive hotels offer nightly shows in their theaters for their guests only. Impromptu performances by street performers are held nightly near the Party Zone and in the area malls.
