Guadalajara’s International Mariachi and Charreria Festival celebrates its 20th birthday this year, with bands from all over Mexico and other parts of the world set to roll into the homeland of this revered musical genre at the end of August.
The high-end tickets for the festival are the nightly mariachi galas at the Teatro Degollado showcasing top bands, singers and the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra.
Scheduled at 8 p.m. on August 29, 30 and 31, and September 3, 4 and 5, tickets run from 870 to 2,150 pesos. Their steep cost demonstrates just how much the Guadalajara Chamber of Commerce, the organizers of the festival, relies on the galas to cover the mounting expenses of the event. Just four years ago the top ticket price for the galas was 650 pesos. Thankfully, most of the other festival events are offered free of charge.
