The experience
What's special
The Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair is the free public festival of Tejano music produced by the Texas Talent Musicians Association (TTMA), the San Antonio nonprofit that also produces the annual Tejano Music Awards. The 2026 edition ran four days, March 12 to 15, at Hemisfair in downtown San Antonio. Thursday opened with an opening ceremony at 4 pm, and the schedules for Friday, Saturday and Sunday started at noon. Music was spread across three stages, the Civic Stage, the Mexican Plaza Stage (billed as Hot Tejano) and the Source Stage, with sets of about 40 minutes, late-night headliners from Thursday to Saturday, and some Friday and Saturday sets marked on the organizer's schedule as award presentations. On Friday and Saturday, artist tables ran meet and greets in two sessions, 2 pm to 3:45 pm and 4 pm to 5:45 pm, and 10-minute track artist showcases ran on two stages from 1:45 pm. Admission was free on all four days, and the organizer marks its schedules as subject to change. A 2027 Fan Fair has not been announced.

Getting there
How do I get to Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair?
When the Fan Fair is at Hemisfair, as in 2026, it sits in the heart of downtown San Antonio, so there is no need to treat it as a drive. Public transit serves the park directly, including the VIVA Culture and VIVA Missions routes, and cyclists find racks and bike share stations close by. Drivers come off US-281 at East Durango Boulevard or along South Alamo Street to a garage and a few nearby lots, where rates and availability change on special event days. The options below cover each route in.

Camping & Accommodation
Where do most people stay?
Downtown is the natural base: Hemisfair is a short walk from the Alamo, the River Walk and La Villita, so a festival day fits in with sightseeing and a late night of music ends on foot or a short ride rather than a long drive. The lodging options below show what is nearest the park.
