The Hayward Rotary Club will meet next meet Monday, Jan. 12, when the presenter will be Manuel Huerta of Mariachi Halcones de Oakland, who will discuss the celebration of World Mariachi Day. The club will meet at noon at 1074 B St.
Mariachi day is celebrated in Mexico and all around the world on Jan. 21 to salute mariachi music and culture. It is mostly associated with Mexico, but mariachi music has also become popular across many regions of Latin America and beyond. Hayward's annual Mariachi Festival is a longstanding tradition, and the school district hosts a youth program.
