Folkloric Dancers and Mariachis Bring Charro Days to Nursing Home Residents

What: Folkloric Dancers and Mariachis Bring Charro Days to Nursing Home Residents

When: Thursday, February 26 - Saturday, February 28

Where: See Schedule Below

Background: Members of the UTB/TSC Grupo Folklorico Tizatlan will join with Charro Days, Inc. to bring the fiesta to hundreds of residents who live in Brownsville’s nursing homes.

The college students, together with El Mariachi Mexico Lindo, will be on hand to dance with some of the patients bringing a little bit of Charro Days to those who otherwise can not make it out to the celebration.

Taking mariachis to residents of the nursing homes in Brownsville is a Charro Days tradition that began more than 20 years ago by Charro Days Incorporated.

Many residents at the nursing homes get into the spirit of the annual fiesta by wearing traditional Mexican dresses to welcome the serenading mariachis. As soon as they hear the music, some of the residents want to get out of their wheelchairs and start dancing and that’s when the students will step in.
