Among people aged 12–24, the figure was close to eight in ten. INEGI reported attendance of 58.6% among speakers of an Indigenous language and 65.5% among non-speakers. From 2025, the survey expanded from people aged 18 and over in large urban areas to a nationally representative population aged 12 and over, and it covers a broader set of events. The new result should therefore not be read as a direct trend comparison with years under the earlier scope. ## Data ### Cultural-event attendance in the previous 12 months MODECULT 2026 results for Mexico’s population aged 12 and over. Methodology: Rates are the shares of each population that attended a cultural event in the previous 12 months. The overall rate covers the national population aged 12 and over; the language comparison distinguishes speakers and non-speakers of an Indigenous language. INEGI expanded the age, geographic and event scope in 2025, so direct trend comparisons with years under the earlier scope are not appropriate. | Population group | Attendance rate (%) | |---|---| | All people aged 12 and over | 65 | | Indigenous-language speakers aged 12 and over | 58.6 | | Non-speakers of an Indigenous language aged 12 and over | 65.5 | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/mexico-cultural-event-attendance-modecult-2026/data/mexico-cultural-event-attendance-modecult-2026-table?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/mexico-cultural-event-attendance-modecult-2026/data/mexico-cultural-event-attendance-modecult-2026-table?lang=en&format=csv) ## Sources - [Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI)]() (Source checked: 2026-10-13; Published: 2026-10-12) --- Cite the canonical URL above.
