Pachanga is getting all the buzz this weekend. The second annual of the first Latin-themed cultural arts, food and music festival in Austin–organized by Alejandro Vallejo, yep, of that Vallejo– will be held at Fiesta Gardens tomorrow. Some big names are set to perform, including Michael Salgado, Brownout, The Chris Perez Band, Mexican Institute of Sound and a lot more! Food and music will be “everywhere.”
There’s also Ninos Rock Pachanga, where the kiddos can star in their own photo shoot, get their faces painted, make cultural arts & crafts and mingle with selected artists that are performing at the festival.
WIN TICKETS here … well, not here actually. But through me. Remember those free CrossFit workouts I’m always talking about? First person to find me at each of the ones I’m going to tomorrow (8:30 under Mopac bridge; 9:45 near S. First bridge) wins a pair of tix. (Hint: wristband).
