Iconic Banda Group, La Original Banda El Limon, Set to Take the Stage This Summer at The Northwest Washington Fair

The Northwest Washington Fair is excited to reveal that La Original Banda El Limon has been added to the 2025 Bank of the Pacific Grandstand Entertainment Series. This iconic Banda group is set to take the stage Sunday, August 10, 2025, at 7:00 PM. This show is presented by MyTrafficMan.NET.

Founded on January 15, 1965, by Don Salvador Lizárraga, La Original Banda El Limon has since had the privilege of being the first Sinaloan band to usher in a new era in its genre by incorporating sound equipment and having a vocalist as a member of the group. Today, this remarkable band’s success demonstrates how regional Mexican music is one of the most powerful genres. Notable group members have included Julio Preciado, Jorge Cordero, José Ángel Ledezma "El Coyote," Nico Flores, Chuy Lizárraga, Antonio Lizárraga, Israel Valdez and Lorenzo Méndez. Current vocalists include Jose Ramón Maldonado, Kevin Melendres, and Víctor Noriega. 

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 14, 2025, at 9:00 AM. This show is open seating and tickets are $30. The price does not include Fair gate admission, which is required.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
