Tamales and Mariachi Festival

The hottest festival is coming to town! Kick off the holidays with great food, mariachi and folklorico performances at this free family friendly event. Come taste the best tamales in Las Vegas and listen to the beautiful sounds of Mariachi music. The festival will also include a day full of Mexican antojitos, folklorico dance and arts and craft vendors. Admission is free, food and beverage will be available for purchase.

Headlining the festival entertainment are three different mariachi bands, including the three-time Grammy Award-winning Mariachi Los Camperos. Acclaimed by audiences at the Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and other major U.S. venues, their skillfully arranged versions of classic mariachi tunes, blended with regional styles of traditional music, are a delight to ears nationwide. Other entertainers include Grammy Award winner Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea and Mariachi Alma del Sol.
