Mariachi USA

The annual Mariachi USA once again returns to the Hollywood Bowl for a nearly five-hour extravaganza of mariachi master groups from Mexico, L.A. and around the world. The bands will be complemented by a company of kaleidoscopically dressed dancers and a finale of fireworks. Bring your Malagueña-loving compadres and a picnic; the doors open at 4:30pm (and there’s a pre-party in the Bowl’s plaza that starts at noon), giving you every reason to make this an all-day event. Just make sure to nab your tickets quick—they’re selling faster than a plate of homemade tamales.
