FAQ

Access for Minors
We offer a free program specifically designed for children as part of the Hay Festival Comunitario. For the general program, children under the age of 16 are allowed entry provided they are accompanied by an adult and have a ticket. As the general program is designed for an adult audience, it is up to parents or guardians to decide whether the content is appropriate for those under 16.

Relaxed Performances and Mexican Sign Language Interpretation (LSM)
In an effort to create cultural opportunities for people with disabilities, Hay Festival Querétaro includes some relaxed performances and several events interpreted in Mexican Sign Language (LSM).
