San Antonio, Texas – The heart of San Antonio pulsated with Tejano beats as the Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair made its debut at Hemisfair on Thursday, March 14, 2024. This historic move to the iconic venue promised an unforgettable experience for fans, and award-winning Tejano Nation photojournalist Mariaelena Villarreal was there to capture every moment.
From noon till late evening, Hemisfair resonated with the sounds of over Tejano and conjunto artists across four electrifying stages.
