Cancún, Quintana Roo — The second edition of PuenteAndo will turn the Nichupté Bridge into a free recreational space on Aug. 30, offering families and visitors a chance to walk, run, bike, and enjoy local food and crafts on the landmark structure.

The event, announced by Governor Mara Lezama on social media, will run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is open to all ages. It will also support local entrepreneurs through the “Hecho en Quintana Roo” program, which promotes products made in the state.

The first PuenteAndo in July drew more than 6,000 people, according to state officials. Attendees took part in activities along the bridge, which connects Boulevard Luis Donaldo Colosio with Cancún’s Hotel Zone, as well as musical performances and food stalls.

Organizers have scheduled a variety of free activities:

  • Dance classes
  • Races
  • Food pavilion
  • Handicraft sales
  • Golf cart transport
  • Bicycle rentals

The bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic for the event, and drivers are advised to use alternative routes, including Boulevard Kukulkán, Avenida Bonampak, Avenida Chac Mool, Avenida Tulum, and Avenida López Portillo.

Officials recommend that attendees bring water bottles, wear sunscreen and hats, and carry bags for pet waste. Drivers are urged to leave early and remain patient with increased traffic in the area.
