The Victoria Bach Festival is proud to present the return of its signature fall fundraising celebration, Mariachis & Margaritas, on Sunday, October 19, 2025, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Club Westerner in Victoria. Now in its fourth year, this lively and colorful evening brings together the best of Mexican culture—live music, delicious food, craft cocktails, and spirited community engagement—all in support of the Festival’s 51st season and its mission to bring world-class music and education to South Texas.
Guests can expect a vibrant atmosphere as the celebrated local ensemble Mariachi Nuevo fills the venue with high-energy, traditional mariachi music. Culinary highlights for the evening include gourmet street tacos, a selection of appetizers, and a decadent churro bar, all crafted by Wild Thyme Catering. A variety of beverages—featuring signature margaritas, handcrafted sangria, and curated tequila flights—will be served throughout the night.
A highlight of the event will be the live auction, offering one-of-a-kind experiences and packages to benefit the Festival’s artistic and educational programs. Those who choose to sponsor a VIP table will also enjoy exclusive perks, including a private serenade from the mariachi group, priority seating near the stage, and early access to the dining experience.
“Mariachis & Margaritas is one of our most joyful events of the year,” said Buck Moore, Executive Director of the Victoria Bach Festival.“It’s a chance for our supporters and community to come together, celebrate cultural traditions, and invest in the arts in a meaningful way. Every ticket and every sponsorship makes a direct impact on the future of the Festival and the musical experiences we’re able to offer.”
Festival Board President Simon McCloud echoed that sentiment, emphasizing the broader purpose of the evening: “This event is a vibrant reflection of what the Festival stands for—community connection, artistic excellence, and cultural celebration. It not only brings people together in a fun, memorable way, but also fuels the work we do year-round to bring transformative musical experiences to our region.”
A range of ticket and table options are available to suit individuals, couples, and groups. Individual tickets begin at $125, with other packages for pairs and shared tables. Full tables for eight guests may be reserved for $1,000, and VIP tables—which include premier seating, exclusive entertainment, and other special amenities—are available for $1,500.
The Festival also offers multiple sponsorship levels, each including event seating and recognition in promotional materials. Sponsors receive added visibility during the event and on online platforms, making this an ideal opportunity for local businesses and patrons of the arts to show their support. Higher-level sponsors will receive enhanced benefits such as premium table placement, VIP experiences, and personal acknowledgments throughout the evening.
