Arivaca Folklorico is a short 4-minute video postcard that captures the essence of tradition and culture in a rural mountain town at the international border of the desert southwest. The Folklorico Festival in the small town of Arivaca Arizona, is an annual event created by resident Clara Godfrey to honor the memory of her father.
