The Main Garden is Celaya’s historic and social heart. Since its beginnings, it has witnessed important events, served as a community meeting place, and symbolized the city’s everyday and cultural life. Its central kiosk and fountain are traditional elements that reflect the architecture and atmosphere of a Mexican main square.

The best time to visit the Main Garden is in the late afternoon, when the weather is more pleasant and the square fills with local life, creating a very vibrant atmosphere. The autumn months (September to November) and spring (March to May) usually offer the most comfortable temperatures for a walk.
