**Junior Instaglobal Song Contest 3** was the third edition of the Junior Instaglobal Contest. It took place in Guadalajara, Mexico, following LemonGrass victory in the second edition with the song "Mi Mundo Gira Contigo". It was the first time Mexico hosted an Instaglobal event.

## Location

The contest took place in the Arena VFG in Guadalajara, following Mexico's victory in the first contest in Marseille with the song "Mi Mundo Gira Contigo", performed by LemonGrass. The Arena VFG has a capacity of approximately 15,000 attendees.
The city was established in five other places before moving to its current location. The first settlement in 1532 was in Mesa del Cerro, now known as Nochistlán, Zacatecas. This site was settled by Cristóbal de Oñate as commissioned by Nuño de Guzmán, with the purpose of securing recent conquests and defending them against the still-hostile natives. The settlement did not last long at this spot due to the lack of water; in 1533 it was moved to a location near Tonalá. Four years later, Guzmán ordered that the village be moved to Tlacotán. While the settlement was in Tlacotán, the Spanish king Charles VI granted the coat of arms that the city still has today.
