RSVP on Eventbrite

Austin’s 75-year tradition of Fiesta returns with an updated attitude! Fiesta Reclamada, reclaimed for the 21st Century, celebrates the Fiesta season with contemporary music, dance, and visual arts, providing an authentic taste of Austin’s diverse cultures.

Fiesta Reclamada is set in a venue that speaks to eastside hip, The Cathedral, with its gorgeous architecture and updated artistic vibe. The music, set on the balcony overlooking dozens of art booths, will entertain while everyone tastes, sips and browses. Musical lineup includes Tish Hinojosa, Patricia Vonne, Lesley Reynaga, Javier Jara and Daniel Llanes with For the Love of It.

Creative children’s activities will be provided on the lawn. More booths indoors feature Austin’s finest boutique jewelry makers amidst hundreds of paintings by local women artists. The festival will also feature a new exhibition by photographer Roj Rodriguez, featuring photos of Austin visual artists, musicians and theater artists included in A3’s new book, Perfect Storm, Austin Arts Today, due to be published in early summer 2025.

Fiesta Reclamada is produced by A3 Art Alliance Austin, the latest iteration of the organization Austin Fine Arts Alliance, and sponsored by The Cathedral in collaboration with the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center. It is supported in part by funding from the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
