This virtual mariachi celebration is connecting professional artists with community members and bridging the gap between generations by allowing well-known local mariachi ensembles such as Las Colibrí, Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea, and Mariachi Espectacular to share the virtual stage with local school-based mariachi programs from Chapman University, Santa Ana High School and Garey High School.
In a live Q&A, ensemble leaders will join together to explore topics such as women in mariachi, local mariachi culture, and the transfer of knowledge to the next generation of musicians.
In partnership with Chapman’s Latinx Staff and Faculty Forum, other family activities, such as story time and arts and crafts demos, will be provided.

OC-Brewed SAVOR Hard Seltzer Debuts in Old Towne Orange
05.12.21
Chapman Crafted just debuted Savor, a craft hard seltzer, available on tap and in cans on Friday, May 21 at the Chapman Crafted Tasting Room in Old Towne Orange. Similar to its craft beer counterpart, Savor, utilizes the highest quality ingredients and brewing processes to create a product that maintains the integrity of the Chapman Crafted brand.
SAVOR Hard Seltzer, brewed and canned at Chapman Crafted, is low-calorie, low-sugar, and gluten-free beverage that is 5% ABV. Currently available in two flavors, Mango & Guava and Passion Fruit, it is made with real fruit, unlike many similar products which are made with flavor extracts.
“The widespread popularity, appeal and potential of hard seltzer made it a product that Chapman Crafted has had its sights on for some time,” said Wil Dee, who founded Chapman Crafted in 2016 with business partner Randy Nelson. “Since hard seltzer undergoes a similar brewing process as beer, we decided to focus on creating a quality product that is great tasting, easy to drink, and attractive to active lifestyles – Savor encompasses all these elements and is perfect to greet the summer months ahead.”
SAVOR is the latest product from Chapman Crafted Beverage Company, founded by Wil Dee and Randy Nelson, two long-time entrepreneurial collaborators with extensive industry experience and a mutual appreciation for craft beverages, including beer, coffee and spirits.
SAVOR Hard Seltzer’s Mango & Guava and Passion Fruit varieties will be available on tap and in canned 6-packs in the Chapman Crafted Tasting Room. Plans for SAVOR include expanded flavor offerings and distribution to restaurants and retailers in the region.
