Texas Travel Guide
Enjoy The Music At San Antonio's Annual Tejano Conjunto Festival
Join
the fun in May when the Annual Tejano Conjunto Festival returns to roots
with Latino legends in ROSEDALE PARK in San Antonio, TX. Each year the
festival features great musicians like accordion greats Paulino Bernal and
Oscar Hernandez. Guests can expect a “who’s who” of Texas and Latin legends
to perform during the festivities.
Previous events included a Conjunto student recital from three of San Antonio’s community and education-based organizations: the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center; Conjunto Heritage Taller, a community group that teaches accordion and bajo sexto; and Palo Alto College, home of the nation’s only college-level Conjunto music program.
This celebration of music and culture has become a major annual event in the Alamo City and draws visitors from across the country, Mexico and overseas. In addition to showcasing this unique music form, the festival also includes a wide variety of family-friendly activities, along with food booths and more. A three-day "Festival Pass" is available for members of the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, and non-members pay a separate fee. Tickets and passes can be purchased in advance by credit card and purchased for cash at the gate during the event.
