The 3rd edition of Festival Femme Mariachi Europe (FFME 2026) will take place from September 25 to 27 in Paris, with several official events held across the French capital. This edition pays tribute to the trailblazers: the women who broke down barriers and made it possible for a growing number of artists to take the stage today wearing sombreros and playing the violin, trumpet, and guitarrón. FFME 2026 is dedicated to the women who started it all.
