In 2023, the Mariachi Festival begins with a pre-concert VIP “Tacos & Tequila” event from 12:00 to 2:30 p.m., complete with tacos, tequila tasting, and a Silent Auction. The concert follows at 3:00 in the Concert Hall.
Rotary is welcoming back the Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea, who have been nominated for numerous Grammys and have won two. They just released their 16th album in celebration of their 21st anniversary.
Also returning with traditional folkloric dance for the 9th consecutive year is Tierra Caliente Academy, directed by club member José Jaimes. The group performs regularly at the Center for the Arts.
Proceeds benefit educational and charitable organizations, youth leadership programs, scholarships, medical clinics, food for North County families, and polio eradication around the world.
Route 78 Rotary is a regional Hispanic-affiliated club; many of its members are bilingual. Ticket prices are kept low so that all can enjoy.
The club is currently welcoming sponsors for this event.
