Mariachi Plaza, Cultural plaza in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, US.
Musicians wearing traditional charro attire gather at this plaza to perform and secure employment opportunities for events and celebrations throughout Los Angeles.
The plaza emerged as a central location for mariachi musicians in the 1930s when Juan M. Gonzalez encouraged performers to join him in this affordable area.
The plaza includes a stone kiosk from the State of Jalisco and a statue of Lucha Reyes, celebrating Mexican musical traditions in Los Angeles.
The Mariachi Plaza Metro Station on the L Line connects visitors directly to downtown Los Angeles and provides convenient access to surrounding neighborhoods.
A section of street adjacent to the plaza was renamed Vicente Fernández Street in 2022 to honor the contributions of the ranchera music performer.
