Say "Hola" to springtime shenanigans as San Antonio preps for Fiesta season with the quintessential 'Chanclas y Cervezas', turning five in a fling that's more than just flip flops and frosty beers. This spirited soiree is penciled in for April 20th at The Greenline, pegged to be a feast for the eyes with foot-tapping tunes and belly-filling bites. According to FOX San Antonio, the fete not only cranks up the fun meter but is also hitched to a good cause, with proceeds funneling into Brooks Gives Back, a do-gooder outfit that's already splashed $200,000 on local nonprofits.
Famed 'King of Kumbia,' A.B. Quintanilla III and the Los Kumbia All-Starz will be steering the revelry ship as mainstage maestros, bringing a Latin spice to the eardrums – a celebratory nod to a genre that's carved out a special spot in musical hearts. But don’t think the lineup ends there; additional performers including Lucky Joe, Rudi Gutierrez, and Jerry DeLeon & Southbound are locked in to keep the energy sky-high, as detailed in KSAT.
Lest we forget, Chanclas y Cervezas is not all about the hops and beats. The event packs a wallop of family fun with games galore, a petting zoo, and picture ops to frame the 'remember when' moments. If you fancy yourself a pro in flip flop flinging, here's your shot at royalty – vying for the crowning glory of "Rey" and "Reina" of the Chanclas Court. Even Fido can strut their stuff in the extravaganza, dressed in their fiesta best.
Early birds can snag their tickets for a cool $15 online with a bump up to $20 at the gate, but kids under 12 are guests of honor with free entry, as per KSAT. Parking is no sweat and won't cost you a dime. While you're there, lift a cerveza courtesy of Official Beer Sponsor, Dos Equis, and toast to community upliftment that Brooks Gives Back champions.
