The 24th edition of Chapala’s annual Encuentro de Arpas, Salterios y Más will bring together talented musicians from near and far for a full day of free musical entertainment on Wednesday, June 3, presented on the grounds of the Centro Cultural González Gallo.
The annual offbeat music fest features Mexican and Latin American sounds played on folk harps, psalteries and an array of other string and acoustical instruments.
Individual artists and group performers take the stage on the back steps of the former railway station, alternating non-stop from 1 to 10 p.m.
The event doubles as a unique encounter of sharing and learning experiences for the musicians and a fun-filled show for the audience of music lovers in a laid-back atmosphere.
Voluntary contributions, along with the sale of souvenirs, snacks and bar drinks, help defray the festival expenses.
In a prelude to the event, a reception for the musicians will be held on Tuesday, June 2, at 7 p.m. at La Bodega de Ajijic. Reservations: 376-766-1002.
