What to Do in Cancun During Easter: Art, Gastronomy, and Nature by the Lagoon

Easter in Cancun: Plans Beyond the Beach

Easter in Cancun is usually synonymous with beach, sun, and hotels. But if you're already here (or visiting for the first time), there’s a plan that works perfectly for the late afternoon and evening: combining nature, gastronomy, and a cultural event without leaving the Hotel Zone.

In 2026, from March 12 to April 12, Cancún adds a new event to its cultural calendar: the Bohemian Art Fest, a contemporary art festival held at Bohemian Square, a dining complex surrounded by mangroves with views of Nichupté Lagoon, an ideal spot to watch the sunset.


Bohemian Art Fest: A Contemporary Art Festival in the Hotel Zone

The Bohemian Art Fest brings together visual art exhibitions installed inside different dining spaces at Bohemian Square. This turns the visit into a different kind of experience: it’s not simply “going to a museum,” but discovering artworks while walking through the complex, having dinner, enjoying a cocktail, and watching the light change at sunset.

During the festival, exhibitions will be displayed at:

  • Chambao

  • Rosa Negra

  • Tora

  • Funky Geisha

  • Parole

  • Confessions

If you’re looking for things to do in Cancun during Easter, this is an easy evening plan: arrive in time for sunset, explore the festival, and finish the night with dinner.

Bohemian Art Walk: Guided Tour Every Day at 6:30 pm

One of the highlights of the festival is the Bohemian Art Walk, a guided tour that takes place every day at 6:30 pm.

The tour allows visitors to understand the context behind the artworks while walking through the artistic circuit installed across the restaurants.

For those who prefer to explore on their own, a printed map of the art route will be available at the complex reception, perfect for creating your own art walk before or after dinner.


A Plan Surrounded by Nature: Mangroves, Lagoon, and Sunset

Bohemian Square is located in a privileged area of the Cancun Hotel Zone, surrounded by a natural setting that feels different from the typical nightlife experience: mangroves, lagoon views, ocean breeze, and sunset as part of the plan.

This context adds an extra dimension to the festival: the art is not isolated; it coexists with nature and with a vibrant social atmosphere that comes alive in the early evening.

If your Easter trip to Cancun includes at least one night with a view, this is the kind of plan worth experiencing.


Art Workshops Every Thursday

In addition to the exhibitions, the festival will feature art workshops every Thursday at the Bohemian Square event hall.

These sessions are designed for visitors who want to experience the festival in a more participatory way: exploring creative techniques, learning about contemporary artistic processes, and connecting with art through hands-on activities.


Participating Artists

The Bohemian Art Fest brings together contemporary artists working in disciplines such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic art, and mixed media. Participating artists include:

  • Askild Winkelmann

  • Alfredo Lanz

  • Javier Barrera

  • Martha Gerstein

  • Edgar Herrera

  • Francisco Verona

  • Linda Arrieta

  • Michelle Monge Estrada

  • René Monge Estrada

  • Alberto Cerro


Where to Have Dinner in Cancun During Easter

If your plan during Easter is to have dinner in the Hotel Zone, Bohemian Square is a convenient option because it brings together several experiences in one place, with lagoon views and an atmosphere that combines design, music, and social life.

During the Bohemian Art Fest, restaurants such as Rosa Negra, Chambao, Tora, and Funky Geisha also transform into temporary galleries, meaning that dinner can become a complete experience of art, gastronomy, and nature overlooking the lagoon.
