 Folklorico dancing dates back to the 1500's in Old Mexico.  The Spanish brought the tango over from Europe and it was mixed with the Aztec form of tribal dancing from Mexico.  It has progressed to the colorful, vibrant art form that will be seen at the Harvest Fair.

These dances originated in various regions of Mexico.  The groups have members from the age of 5 years to adult.  Experience an exciting tour of Mexico through the magic of dance.  The exciting, energizing movements of folklorico will be on hand for all to see.  They have dedicated themselves to inspiring their community multi-culturally through dance. 

The dances reflect the different regions, culture and folklore of Mexico, telling stories of birth , death, primitive people, animals, legends, and nature which have been lost in the darkness of time.  These dances are festive, vibrant in color as well as universal.

Experience all these wonderful Folklorico dancers throughout the Harvest Fair.  Old Mexico comes alive through their dance.

The exciting, energetic and passionate music of mariachi will be at Harvest Fair!

Fourth to eighth grade students are learning the fine art of mariachi.  They have performed at the Historic California Theater in San Bernardino as well as throughout Southern California and the country.

Mariachi has been described as raucous, sweet and festive.  It has its roots in Mexican folk culture, an essential    part of birthdays, weddings, baptisms and funerals.   The music started simply: country musicians in white peasant clothing performed traditional Mexican songs, or “sones”.  The repertoire grew to include waltzes and polkas.  Costumes grew more elaborate,  developing into today’s “traje de charro,”  an embroidered wool suit complete with shiny boots and a broad sombrero.  The size of the mariachi ensemble varies, but its essential components remain the same:  ideally six to eight violins; trumpets; a guitar; a small round-backed guitar called a vihuela; a bass guitar known as a guitarron; and a singer.  

Mariachi Estudiantina del Inland Empire has also performed in Washington D.C. on Capitol Hill for congressmen and political officials.  This youthful energetic group of boys and girls, dressed in richly embroidered costumes will bring the highly entertaining music of Mariachi to the Harvest Fair.
