Join us as mariachi superstars Lupita Infante and Nydia Rojas, as well as local favorites, Mariachi Azteca and Mariachi Tapatio, headline a concert in La Plaza's courtyard. In addition to the performers, students who enrolled in the Fiesta del Mariachi workshop will showcase their talents with a recital.
This inaugural Fiesta del Mariachi is dedicated to Carla “Patita” Diaz, who was instrumental in building the SOAC mariachi program. She touched the lives of many aspiring musicians through our Summer Camp program and Mariachi Conservatory. Diaz passed away on October 7, 2021. The SOAC team will always remember Diaz for her inspiring passion for mariachi music, hard work, and love for her family and the East San José community.
