Since 1982, the Tucson International Mariachi Conference (TIMC) has been a leading force in supporting the development of Mariachi and Ballet Folklorico instruction in schools across the United States. Their long-standing history of fostering Mexican American culture has significantly increased pride, success, craftsmanship, and discipline and encouraged youth to engage in education.
By attending the Conference, events, and festival, you’re not just enjoying a cultural event-you’re also supporting children’s services provided by La Frontera Arizona companies, including La Frontera Center, Melba Chavez Child and Family Center, and La Paloma Family Foster Care Programs.
Conference attendees receive free admission to performances at Mariachi El Canta and Fiesta Garibaldi with their conference wristbands. A limited number of free tickets to the Student Showcase will be available on Thursday during the conference. Conference attendees will also receive discounted tickets to the Espectacular Concert.
