A date has been confirmed for this year’s Mariachi Extravaganza. The event will be held the week prior to Thanksgiving – November 16-18, 2022. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for the 28th Annual Mariachi Extravaganza.
This year’s event has been rebranded as the Mariachi Extravaganza. The rebranding will allow us to continue showcasing the greatest mariachi talent from the U.S. and Mexico and open up the door to showcase new artists. The Extravaganza has been recognized as one the most important mariachi music festivals in the world and one that has helped spark the growth of mariachi music programs and catapult the careers of young artists throughout the U.S. Our work in utilizing the mariachi music platform to promote higher education and cultural preservation among Hispanic youth will continue under the new brand.
Please note these dates are Wednesday through Friday with two full dates inside the Lila Cockrell Theatre – Thursday and Friday.
