Runtimes

How long is the show?

The main performance of Fiesta Noche del Rio runs approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, with a 15-minute intermission about halfway through the evening.
Depending on the size of the audience and the flow of the night, the show usually wraps up between 10:15 PM and 10:30 PM.

Throughout the show, there are interactive moments of audience participation and fun, which can occasionally extend the performance slightly — but you can count on everything being finished by 10:30 PM at the latest.

​We also offer a preshow on select evenings that begins at 7:45 PM, featuring bonus performances and guest appearances to get the audience energized and ready for the night.

We recommend arriving early to get the best seats and enjoy the pre-show entertainment when available!

Is it open seating at the theater?

Seating at Fiesta Noche del Rio is general admission and first come, first served.
We recommend arriving between 8:00 and 8:10 PM (about 20–30 minutes before showtime) to grab the best seats for your group.
Where Should I Sit?
  • 🎉 Want to be part of the fun?
    Sit in the first four rows to be closer to the action and possibly take part in interactive moments throughout the show!
  • 🌙 Prefer to sit back and take it all in?
    Rows 5 and up offer a great view of the stage with a bit more distance.
  • 📦 Curious about the side boxes?
    Unless marked with a “Reserved” sign, those are open to the public too — feel free to make yourself at home!
Please note that seating is not assigned, and large groups may want to arrive a bit earlier to ensure they can sit together.
