History
Started in 2001, the San Pancho Music Fest began with 12 performers in one day and grew to 116 performers over three days for the 6th annual event held in February of 2006.
On the last weekend of every February, a musical show is held in San Francisco (San Pancho), Nayarit, Mexico.
The purpose of this fest is to show off the tranquil village of San Pancho, the musical talent of those residents who live in or are visiting the area, provide a common thread of joy between the cultural mix of those who reside in and visit the area.
THERE IS NO ADMISSION CHARGED. MUSICIANS PERFORM FOR FREE. NOTHING IS SOLD.
The festival will be held in the Plaza del Sol; a 3 day music celebration featuring local, regional, international and world music..

Dates for 2008 : Thursday, Feb. 28 - Sunday, March 2
The San Pancho Music Festival started yesterday and musicians and friends slowly arrived at the main plaza in front of the church to sit back and enjoy a variety of music. Folks pulled up chairs or sat on planters or stairs around the stage set up for the four day event.
The plaza was ready; the sound system up and ready, hundreds of chairs to the side for the audience, and the lights ready for the sun to go down.
Festival organizers and musicians, Craig “Shoe” and Faby, are preserving the original intent and tradition of the music festival started 8 years ago by John and Trish (Redneck Mother’s fame) in their backyard. There is no cover charge nor is anything sold. It is simply about enjoying local music.
The festival will run until the grand finale Sunday March 2 at the Plaza del Sol.
