Add Review/Comment

On Saturday, September 6, 2008 from 12 – 9 p.m. the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (PRCSD) will host the 3rd Annual Mariachi Festival at Fairmount Park (2601 Fairmount Blvd.) with the Grammy nominated Mariachi Sol de México® de Jose Hernandez. Mariachi Sol de México was formed by José Hernández, musical director of Las Vegas International Mariachi and the annual Viva El Mariachi Festival. The group was influenced by Mariachi Chapala, assembled in Los Angeles, CA, in the late '50s, and Mariachi los Galleros, which was formed by six musicians, including Hernández's father Esteban González. Mariachi Sol de México is currently one of the most prominent Mexican orchestras in the U.S. and has performed with Selena, Willie Nelson, and the Beach Boys while participating in soundtracks for films such as Old Gringo and Don Juan de Marco. Along with the mariachis, ballet folklorico performances will entertain you with their colorful attire and amazing dance steps throughout the day. A children’s fun zone featuring a rock wall, giant slide and obstacle course, arts & crafts, games, face painters, and clowns will entertain your children while you enjoy the cultural experience of the festival. Tickets for the fun zone include; unlimited play for $5.00 per person. Vendors will provide food and crafts that reflect the cultural diversity of this innovative festival. Pre-sale tickets are available for purchase at the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (3936 Chestnut St.) and all community centers through September 5. Pre-sale tickets are 2 for $15 or 1 for $7.50. On-site ticket sales will be available at $10 per person. Children 12 and under are FREE. The PRCSD would like to thank the sponsors of the Mariachi Festival: City of Riverside Development Department, The Press-Enterprise, Integrated Research Group, Visterra Credit Union, Riverside Downtown Partnership, Tonkin Plumbing and Ian Davidson Landscape Architects.
