Pachanga Latino Music Festival

I attended the very first Pachanga Fest in Austin years ago and have looked forward to it every year since. This festival consistently brings great Latino talent to Austin year after year. And every time I walk away a fan of an artist I hadn’t been exposed to yet! That’s probably my favorite part.
What I especially appreciate about Pachanga is their special Niños Rock events. It’s a free kids festival held as part of the Pachanga Fest that offers stuff for the kiddies like free face-​painting, music camps with artists and if memory serves, a cake walk!
There’s the usual festival fare as well: food vendors, beer and spirits, and other vendors (jewelery, hats, clothes, sandals, instruments). What’s nice is that this particular festival hasn’t gotten too unruly as far as numbers go so you can get in and out of the drink and food lines in a relatively short amount of time.
This year they went from selling VIP to VIT (Very Important Taco) passes, my kinda passes! And while I don’t want this festival to become over-​sold like other local fests **cough**ACL Fest**cough**, I would like to see people continue to support it because I want it sticking around for a while.
