Hola Mi Gente!!!
Have you heard? On August 31st and September 1st, People En Español will once again host their fantastico annual Festival. This years festival you won’t want to miss! It has all the hottest young Latin Music Artists mixed with some Legends of Latin Music. If you have no idea what I’m referring to, The Festival People En Español 2013 is a 2-day event at San Antonio, Texas. The festival has both a free daytime festival event with celebrities like Maite Perroni, Angelica Maria, Jencarlos Canela, and a nightly ticketed concert that has over a dozen musical artists participating. If you’re in San Antonio you don’t want to miss this amazing event!
By day you can enjoy a fabulous festival and by night you can experience legendary concerts with music legends like the Cuban goddess Gloria Estefan! Being Cuban and Puerto Rican I grew up listening to Gloria Estefan. She was one of my idols as I loved The Miami Sound Machine.
Demi Lovato will also be there! In case you didn’t know Demi is Latina. She’s is part Mexican and I love her music. I’ve been watching her career for some time as she was on so many of my kids favorite shows. I would kill to go to this concert as I’ve always wanted to see Gloria Estefan in concert! If you’re in San Antonio, Texas you DON’T want to miss this festival and concert as it’s going to be legendary!
It’s going to be the HOTTEST WEEKEND in San Antonio, Texas and I’m not talking about the weather! This is an amazing event for the whole family! They will have a children’s area available, with fun and educational activities. During the evening concerts, children should be with their parents or other adults.

What a fun festival! Wish I were closer.
That line-up is beyond impressive. So, so SO many acts!
Sounds like a really fun event! 🙂
It sounds like a great festival. I’m familiar with Wisin Y Yandel because my cousin is Colombian reggaeton artist J Balvin. When he was first starting his career, he received guidance from Gloria Estefan’s husband Emilio.
I like that there’s a mixture of different musical genres represented.
Oooh definitely not something to miss – thanks for sharing 🙂
That lineup is amazing!
Omgosh Gloria Estefan performing that is going to be amazing looks like it’s going to be a great festival
