30th Annual Fiesta del Rancho in Concepcion

The Fiesta del Rancho is a huge festival in Concepcion, TX (a.k.a. La Chona) that has been going on for over fifty years. It is almost like your typical festival: food, arts & crafts, carnival games, small rides and best of all, good tejano, conjunto, and norteno music. What’s better than that? There’s not city around you. Puro pinche rancho! If you go to the fiesta, you’ll have lots of fun (and probably meet a lot of hot chicks too!).

Unfortunately, this years musical lineup is a bit disappointing. The only bands scheduled to perform are:

El Poder de Tejas (Friday)
Joe Barron with Rebecca Valadez (Saturday)
Ricky Naranjo y Los Gamblers (Saturday)
Chente Barrera y Taconazo (Saturday)
Joe Lara y Expression (Sunday)
Los Desperadoz (Sunday)
Marcos Orozco y Rebelde (Sunday)

The Fiesta will be taking place October 5th, 6th, and 7th this year (2007) at the Concepcion Civic Center Fair Grounds; admission is $2. Here is a map if you need directions.

Stay tuned for updates.

Well, well, well. That’s it for the music, huh. You’re right. Disappointing. Maybe we’ll go shhhheck out Los Gamblers. MAYBE.

Lemme see now, who played last year that I saw? Oh yeah! It was Sexto Sueno!! Too bad they’re not playing this year. I’d go for that for sure!
