The Arroyo Grande Village Summer Concert Series continues with festive Mexican Mariachis and Folklorico Dancers on Sunday, August 14th. Join your friends at 1:00pm at the Rotary Bandstand in the Village of Arroyo Grande for a show featuring Mariachi Voces Tapatias and Allan Hancock College’s Ballet Folklorico Dancers. Activities during the day will spotlight the concert sponsor Talley Farms Fresh Harvest and the Village Crafts Marketplace. The featured nonprofit organization will be The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers. The Arroyo Grande Village Summer Concert Series is known for presenting the most eclectic and diverse musical offerings of all the regional summer series. A fun raffle, food, drinks and free tours of historical buildings in Heritage Square Park are also always available. This free Series is presented by the Arroyo Grande Village Improvement Association and the City of Arroyo Grande Recreation Services Department. Rabobank again joins these organizations as the Featured Series Sponsor.

Mariachi Voces Tapatias performs the joyful and festive music of authentic Mariachi. The group features the best regional musicians expressing their passion for the heritage of Mariachi Music. Their colorful music features guitars, trumpets, violins and talented vocalists. Founded in 2006, Mariachi Voces Tapatias entertains audiences in their colorful costumes at various events including weddings, memorial services and festive gatherings. The leader and musical director of this eight member group is Hilda Macias.

Opening the show will be selected dancers from Allan Hancock College’s Ballet Folklorico under the direction of Horacio Heredia. Folkloric dance celebrates the rich culture, history and music of Mexico’s various regions.

The featured nonprofit focus for this concert will be The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers. The fund was established in 2004 to provide grants to non-profit organizations that assist San Luis Obispo County agricultural workers and their families. The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers is an endowment that is held at the Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County. The key fundraising effort for the Fund is the annual release of Mano Tinta. Mano Tinta (“Red Hand” in Spanish) was chosen to signify the pride and commitment of farm workers to their craft. All of the grapes, materials and services used to make Mano Tinta wines are donated and all of the profit benefits The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers. Sinor LaValle Vineyards, Ranchita Canyon Vineyards, Wolff Vineyards, Laetitia Vineyard and Winery and Talley Vineyards are only a partial list of vineyards who have contributed over the years in an effort that has raised over $600,000 for the Fund.
