The City of Hayward will come alive with the flavours and sounds of Mexico at the upcoming Mariachi Festival.
It’s the ninth year for the event, which celebrates Mexican Independence Day with music, dancing and food.
It’s one of the most popular events in Hayward, according the festival’s Facebook site.
There will be several mariachi-style bands playing the unique style of folk music that began in the 18th century in western Mexico. There will also be traditional and colorful Mexican dancers, as well as a taco-eating contest.
There is no admission fee, and the event is advertised as being family-friendly, hosted by the Hayward Chamber of Commerce and the City of Hayward.
Mexican Independence Day is an important holiday for the people of Mexico and Mexicans living in the United States. Celebrated on September 16, it is the day Father Hidalgo made a moving speech in 1810 that is credited with starting the revolution that eventually led to Mexico’s independence from Spain. It is often confused with Cinco de Mayo in the U.S.
The City of Hayward’s website says that sponsorships for the event are still available, costing between $250 and $1,000.
