ACCORDION FESTIVALS

ACCORDION FESTIVAL

Held every year in the beautiful downtown Riverwalk area on the historic grounds of La Villita (3 three blocks south of the Alamo on South Alamo Street), the International Accordion Festival features performances, workshops, open mic sessions, accordion jams and a fun new area for young people and families. On three stages, enjoy ensembles from around the globe playing everything from Celtic to Creole, from Conjunto to Quebecois, from Cowboy to Klezmer, Chamame to Chicken Scratch and much, much more. In our workshop area, find informal sessions and performances featuring up-close and personal interactions with master artists and their music.
It's big, it's outdoors, it's three days. It's dancing and fun for the whole family. The festival also boasts ethnic foods, beverage and merchandise booths throughout the weekend. And best of all, Saturday and Sunday admission is free all day!
The International Accordion Festival is produced in partnership with the San Antonio Office of Cultural Affairs, the Witte Museum and Friends of the Canary Islands-San Antonio Inc. and the Canary Islands Office, an initiative of Las Palmas and La Laguna University Foundations, PROEXCA and the Government of the Canary Islands.
Festival schedule and line-up are subject to change.
