From April 17 to 19, Acapulco will be the host of the first Mariachi Summit 2025. The event, presented by Grupo Mundo Imperial, aims to celebrate traditional Mexican music with over 20 mariachi groups, delicious gastronomy, and a spectacular closing act featuring Pepe Aguilar alongside the Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.

Igor Lozada, Director of Entertainment at Mundo Imperial, stated that the summit aims to boost tourism and local economy by positioning Acapulco as an international cultural reference. Tickets cost 300 pesos per day, but guests staying at Mundo Imperial hotels (Princess, Palacio, and Pierre) can attend for free, except the Pepe Aguilar concert.
