Cristian Castro headlines closing of Veracruz's Fiestas de Santa Ana

Mexican pop star Cristian Castro closed the three‑day Fiestas de Santa Ana in Veracruz with a two‑hour concert on the Vicente Fox boulevard. Thousands of residents crowded the street, some watching from giant screens, to hear hits such as “Azul,” “Nunca voy a olvidarte,” and “No podrás.” Castro, dressed in a light‑coloured suit, performed continuously until he left the stage, prompting enthusiastic chants and sing‑along from the massive audience.

The event marked the culmination of the festival, which drew participants from across the state, and highlighted Castro’s lasting popularity in Mexico and Latin America since his 1990s debut. Organizers noted the high attendance and the festive atmosphere that filled the boulevard throughout the night.
