Free concert in the Main Plaza on October 12 celebrates music, culture, and community
Matamoros, Tamaulipas – The city is preparing for a night to remember as legendary Argentine-Mexican singer Amanda Miguel headlines the closing ceremony of the 33rd Festival Internacional de OtoΓ±o (International Fall Festival) on October 12. Hosted in the Main Plaza, the event is free and open to the public, and is expected to draw thousands of residents and visitors alike.
The announcement was made by Mayor Beto Granados, whose administration has prioritized cultural events as a means to strengthen community bonds and celebrate local and international artistic talent.
An Iconic Voice Comes to the Border
Amanda Miguel, born in Gaiman, Argentina in 1956 and later becoming a naturalized Mexican citizen, is renowned for her powerful voice and deeply emotional ballads. With a career spanning over four decades, she has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide and earned multiple gold and platinum certifications. Her most iconic songs—such as “Γl me mintiΓ³” (He Lied to Me), “Mi buen corazΓ³n” (My Good Heart), and “Castillos”—have become timeless anthems in Latin music.
This performance in Matamoros marks a significant cultural moment, as Miguel’s appearance brings international prestige to one of northern Mexico’s most important cultural festivals. The concert is expected to include both classic hits and new material, promising an emotionally rich and musically diverse evening for attendees.
A Festival for Everyone
The International Fall Festival has grown to become a central cultural celebration in Tamaulipas. Now in its 33rd year, the event spans several weeks and features music, dance, theater, and visual arts in various public spaces throughout the city. Local, national, and international artists participate in the festival, making it a truly inclusive and diverse cultural experience.
“This festival is about more than just entertainment,” said Mayor Granados in a recent statement. “It’s about fostering unity, pride, and cultural appreciation. Amanda Miguel’s presence here reflects our commitment to bringing world-class talent to the people of Matamoros.”
Community Invitation
The Municipal Government of Matamoros invites families, friends, and music lovers of all ages to gather at the Plaza Principal on Saturday, October 12, for this spectacular concert. Organizers hope the event will not only entertain but also serve as a reminder of the city's vibrant cultural identity and growing role as a hub for artistic expression.
As the notes of Amanda Miguel’s unforgettable voice fill the night sky, Matamoros will close its beloved festival on a high note—celebrating not just a musical legend, but also the spirit and resilience of its people.
