Connecticut’s first mariachi band, Fiesta del Norte is a Mexican Mariachi band performing the traditional folk and popular music of Mexico.
Dressed in traditional sombreros and “charro” outfits, our repertoire spans from the Mariachis of Jalisco to the Nortenas of Chihuahua, to the harp music of Vera Cruz, down to the Marimba music of Chiapas.
All this played on authentic instruments such as guitar, vihuela, guitarron, violin, trumpet and with beautiful singing throughout.

From concerts to school assemblies to just about any event you can image—Fiesta del Norte has performed at them. Take a look at Fiesta del Norte's Photo Album. Have a picture of FDN that you'd like to share? Click this link to send it to us!!
