FORT WORTH, Tex. – As part of Fort Worth’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) today announced the return of Mexico en la Sangre, a one-of-a-kind event celebrating Hispanic culture, to Cowtown Coliseum, scheduled to fill the iconic Stockyards once again with the spirit of Mexico on Sunday, September 18.
Mexico en la Sangre, co-produced by PBR and Cassy Promotions Corp., is part of the PBR’s continued commitment to bring diverse western content celebrating all cultures to Cowtown Coliseum.
Mexico en la Sangre is a unique showcase event bringing the Hispanic culture to the heart of Fort Worth. The joyful, highly-entertaining event featuring live music, dancing horses, Charros, Folkorico dancers and more will be one of the culminating events for Fiestas Patrias Celebration, the kick-off event for Fort Worth’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.
Mexico en la Sangre’s addition to the Fiestas Patrias Celebration event schedule comes just months after De Toro a Todo captivated fans inside Cowtown Coliseum in May during the 2022 PBR World Finals, bringing attendees the same all-encompassing Latin experience that will again fill the iconic rodeo venue on September 18.
Mexico en la Sangre-Fiesta Cultura begins at 2:00 p.m. CDT on Sunday, September 18 at Cowtown Coliseum.
Among the events fans can expect to see during Mexico en la Sangre include: reigning demonstrations (Cala de Caballo), side saddle choreographed horse routines (Escaramuzas), dancing horses (Alta Escuela) and jumping horses (Cabriola Dressage), charro-style bull riding (Monta De Toro), youth bronc riding, youth calf roping, rope tricks (Manganas) and traditional Spanish dancing and mariachis.
The Fiestas Patrias Celebration will begin at 10:00 a.m. CT in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. After performances from the Infinite Daze Music Academy’s kids’ mariachi band, and Ballet Folklorico de Fort Worth, event-goers will get to partake in the iconic Fort Worth Herd Cattle Drive at 11:30 a.m. CT.
At 11:35 a.m. there will be the Ceremonia del Grito by the Consul General of Mexico Francisco De la Torre Galindo and City Councilman Carlos Flores.
After, there will be a Hispanic Heritage Celebration Parade, followed by live music and entertainment, all leading into Mexico en la Sangre.
