The Tejano Conjunto Festival en San Antonio is the first and longest-running Conjunto Festival in the country and is internationally recognized as the most influential event for this beloved and popular South Texas musical tradition. The highlight of the 42nd Annual Tejano Conjunto Festival is the opportunity to hear the very best in Conjunto music from all across the many different styles played in Texas.
The 42nd Annual Tejano Conjunto Festival in 2024 encompasses five days of live performances and dancing, including a special Seniors Dance and Conjunto Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The TCF crowd has continually grown over the years, and draws an enthusiastic audience of approximately 9,000 fans, dancers, and musicians from across Texas and the United States, as well as Mexico, Europe, and Asia.
Each spring for the past four decades, the Conjunto Festival en San Antonio has presented live performances of all of the founders, popular performers, and heritage award winners of the genre, along with dances, workshops, Hall of Fame inductions, and other events. The festival has become a model for many other conjunto festivals which have appeared since it started and is credited with highlighting the singular music and culture of South Texas Tejanos.
