Get ready to rediscover the beating heart of Cabo San Lucas—downtown is pulling out all the stops for 2025, and here’s why you won’t want to miss it.

Downtown Cabo has always had its charms—sunset strolls along the marina, hidden taco stands, and buzzy bars tucked into winding alleys. But in 2025, you’ll find the scene dramatically amped up.

We at The Cabo Sun have been following every twist—from big-picture makeovers to grassroots safety initiatives—and the verdict is in: downtown is primed to be your next must-visit destination.

🎉 1. A Festival for Every Taste

Entrepreneurs in Los Cabos are rolling out a packed events calendar designed to keep you entertained all year long.

According to recent reports, local business leaders are planning everything from boosting the Natural History Museum’s appeal to installing a new dome structure for immersive cultural programming.

• Natural History Makeover: Expect museum exhibits with fresh interactive elements that make learning about Baja Sur’s unique flora and fauna feel like play.
• Dome-Driven Experiences: A mysterious new “dome” is slated to host projection shows, speaker series, and intimate film nights—perfect for those balmy Cabo evenings.
• Sunday Concierge Preview: Just this Sunday, downtown welcomed concierges from leading hotels to showcase new initiatives—like the Viva la Plaza program, Mezcal Festival, and Day of the Dead Festival—with the goal of promoting Cabo’s diverse activity lineup.
• Pop-Up Pleasures: Keep your eyes peeled for art walks, street-food weekends, and artisan markets popping up on Calle Morelos.

Each month brings something new—so whether you’re a food-fest fanatic or an art-walk aficionado, downtown’s event blitz will have you penciling in return trips.

🎨 2. A Bold Urban Makeover

It’s not just about events—downtown’s entire look and feel is getting a glow-up. We’ve covered the nostalgic 90s revival plan here, and it’s on track to splash a burst of retro color across plazas and alleyways. Meanwhile, the sleek new boutique hotel Kadun is carving out an urban oasis right in the thick of it all.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Retro-Chic Murals: Photogenic throwback art inspired by 90s Baja surf culture—prime for your next Insta story.
• Kadun’s Secret Garden: Lush courtyards, a rooftop plunge pool, and punchy design details that turn every corner into an oasis.
• Alfresco Upgrades: Wider sidewalks, new seating nooks, and better lighting make wandering the historic streets a breeze.

From the moment you step off the beaten path, you’ll feel like you’re in a whole new downtown—where old-school vibes meet fresh, contemporary flair.
