$115

Sit back and enjoy a beautiful springtime journey into Southern Arizona, where the scenery begins to shift and the pace slows just a bit. Our destination is the colorful Patagonia Lake, home to one of the region’s most beloved festivals.

The Mariachi Festival is the heart of the day, featuring a vibrant lineup of Arizona’s top mariachi bands and dancers performing live on stage. The energy is contagious, the music unforgettable, and the setting—surrounded by rolling hills and desert beauty—makes it all the more special.

Come hungry, as there’s no shortage of authentic flavors to enjoy. From street-style tacos and tamales to local wines, craft beer, and small-batch spirits, there’s something for everyone. You’re welcome to bring a lawn chair and settle in for the show, or explore at your own pace.

Beyond the festival, Patagonia Lake offers a peaceful backdrop of sparkling water and abundant wildlife—making this not just an event, but a full experience.
