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. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

Headlining the festival entertainment is Sandra Guevara, finalist of La Voz Mexico. Other performers include 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. Returning to the festival is also Grammy Award winner Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea and Mariachi Alma del Sol.

Parking will be available in the City Centre covered parking garage, accessible from Third Street/Clark Avenue. Fourth Street will be closed all day between Clark and Lewis avenues starting at 6 a.m. Dec. 7 to allow additional space for the festival. Other downtown streets will be closed 5 a.m.-2 p.m. Dec. 7 for the Las Vegas Great Santa Run, including most streets from Carson Avenue to Hoover Avenue and from Third to Tenth streets; that includes Las Vegas Boulevard from Bridger Avenue to Hoover. Parking also is available at the city garage at 500 S. Main St.
