Brisbane Mexican Festival 2015
One of the world's most fascinating cultures finally gets its own Brisbane fiesta.
Overview
Festivals dedicated to all things Greek and French have been part of Brisbane's culture for years now — but what about Mexico? That's what the folks at Latin Events were wondering, so they've done something about it. The first-ever Brisbane Mexican Festival is result of their handiwork.
For one day only, the fiesta will take over the Boundary Street Markets to celebrate one of the most fascinating cultures worldwide. The timing is intended to synch up with the 205th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain on September 15th, while the program of live entertainment, food and folklore is designed to showcase the mix of strong native legends and artistic expressions so pivotal to the country's identity.
That means authentic Mexican food and drinks, of course, plus a whole range of on-theme activities. Spend the day dancing to a salsa band, watching Mexican wrestling, listening to the lively guitar strumming of the mariachi and breaking piñatas. Then, head along to the post-fest frenzy of Coronas and Margaritas that is the Boundary Hotel's official after party.
