Time: TBA Venue: Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center A CELEBRATION OF TEJANO & LATINO MUSIC AND CULTURE The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican-American Cultural Center (ESB-MACC) will host its first annual MACCnífico! - a celebration of Austin Tejano & Latino music and culture. We will showcase local musicians and performing artists who contribute to Austin’s diverse Latinx art community, inviting the public to celebrate the biggest week of live music in Austin. With live performances, food trucks, on-site activations, and special guests, it will be a “magnificent” display of Austin’s Latinx culture, so in other words, “MACC-nifico”! This event will take place outdoors on the MACC Zocalo, our central plaza that has always served as our gathering place for large events. Admission to the event is free of charge and open to the general public with a health screening. On Friday 3/18 the ESB MACC will host a Tejano music night with local bands that are continuing the strong Tejano and Conjunto traditions of Central Texas. Our beloved Tejano musicians have always been rooted in East Austin and have played such venues as the Pan Am Rec Center’s Summer Concert Series and various folk festivals in the area. Expect lots of dancing and plenty of reunions with these bands whose audiences see them as family, some of whom have been performing in East Austin for 40+ years! Performances by: * Stefani Montiel * Leonard Davila & Street People * Veronique Medrano * Monica Saldivar * The Bronze Band
