Festival Femme Mariachi Europe – 3ᵉ édition

The 3rd edition of the Festival Femme Mariachi Europe (FFME 2026) will be held from 25 to 27 September in Paris, with several official events taking place across the French capital.

This edition pays tribute to the women who paved the way: those who broke down barriers and made it possible for an ever-growing number of artists to take the stage with sombrero, violin, trumpet and guitarrón today. FFME 2026 is dedicated to the women who started it all.
