Flaco Jimenez, Eva Ybarra and Los 2 G’s are among the musicians who will be playing in this year’s Tejano Conjunto Festival.
The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center’s celebration, which was canceled last year because of the pandemic, returns this year as a livestreamed rather than an in-person event.
“We love our fans and seeing all our old friends in the conjunto community at Rosedale (Park), but since we can’t be in person we are happy to share puro conjunto with everyone around the world in this livestream,” Cristina Ballí, director of the Guadalupe, said in a statement.

At 7 p.m., tune in for the film and a Q&A. The official description: One of the largest celebrations of George Washington’s birthday in the world takes place in the border town of Laredo, Texas. This 116-year-old tradition has evolved into an entire month of inventive reenactments and bicultural celebrations, many of them involving their Mexican sister city, Nuevo Laredo. The most preeminent event of them all, however, is the invitation-only Colonial Ball hosted by the elite Society of Martha Washington.
