Being held January 19 at 7:30PM CST, the Best of Mexico consists of charro performances, trick riders, mariachi bands, folklorico dancers, and more.

It all starts with an opening song and dance by Mariachi Jaliscience and Ballet Folklorico de Fort Worth, followed by the presentation of the 8 flags of Mexico and the Grand Entry march to the “Marcha de Zacatecas,” a melody considered by many as the second Mexican national anthem.

During the grand march, the 50 flags of the United States are also carried as a symbol of national unity. Then the charro-style rough stock riders kick off the performances.
