The hottest party in town is returning to Portsmouth Guildhall on Saturday 22 June 2024 - and you'll need to be quick to secure your tickets!

With all the music, food, drink and frivolity you would expect from a Mexican inspired party, Fiesta features live mariachi bands and a whole host of party games and competitions. Plus, there will be beer, tequila and cocktails, as well as burritos, nachos and a selection of stalls selling Mexican-inspired produce in four-hour sessions of Fiesta fun.

By popular demand, “the world’s greatest Mariachi band” (as quoted by Capital FM’s Roman Kemp) and official band of the Doritos TV commercials, The Mariachis will return to perform pop classics with a Mexican twist. With over 13.5million video views and 500,000 Facebook likes, the authentic South American band has appeared at major festivals including Glastonbury, Wireless and Rewind, appeared on many TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing and Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and were support act for Rod Stewart’s UK stadium tour and Michael Buble’s 2020 UK tour.

Also bringing the party atmosphere will be Mariachi Las Adelitas, Europe’s only all-female mariachi band. Having performed at Mexico’s largest Mariachi festival and for clients that include Disney, Camden Roundhouse, the Mexican and US embassies in London, and Salma Hayek’s private Birthday celebration, each of the seven band members is a fantastic instrumentalist delivering real vocal power and clarity.

With more food, more drink and more party games, a good time is guaranteed at Fiesta with the popular classics of a rodeo bull, giant pinata, cactus hoopla, chilli eating contest and macho nacho challenge all making a triumphant return.

Fiesta is an over 18s only event. There will be a range of Mexican beers and a tequila cocktail menu to sample, alongside a range of non-alcoholic beverages that will also be available.

There are two sessions (12pm - 4pm and 6pm - 10pm) and standard entry includes a souvenir shot glass. A limited number of VIP tickets are available which also includes a tequila shot, a sombrero and reserved front table seating.
