I was walking across the bridge when I saw this center and I thought that the architecture was quite enticing. I walked up to the beautiful staircase in the building to discover the box office. This was about 7:30pm and the box office had just closed, but there was still someone inside. They gave me two free tickets to a Mariachi Concert. How good could it be? After all this was just some high school / college performance. But I was in for a treat. The level of artistry and the pieces played by the 3 mariachi bands that I listened to were superb. I was never a mariachi fan before. I am now. The auditorium itself is acoustically wonderful. Perfect for listening to music.

Outside of the doors in the halls around the auditorium I discovered a superbly decorated and well kept center. The chandeliers and the main staircase were impressive. Even if you visit Brownsville just for the day (as I did) then make sure not to miss out on this building. Attending a concert here is ideal, but if there is no show on your day then walking into the building and checking out the architecture are worthwhile activities by themselves.
