A Texas man named Andrew Longoria will attempt to etch his name into the Guinness World Records on June 29th, 2024. His claim to fame? An impressive memorabilia collection dedicated to the Queen of Tejano music, Selena.
Longoria, a devoted fan of Selena, has amassed approximately 1,300 pieces of memorabilia over the years, a collection he has meticulously documented on his Instagram page. His passion for collecting was ignited by his grandmother, an Elvis Presley enthusiast, whose own collection inspired him. It’s a collection years in the making, ever since Longoria and his grandmother first purchased Selena’s “Dreaming of You” CD in 1997.
“I was 5 years old when I got the album,” Longoria told KXAN-TV in 2023. “So to know how long I’ve been a fan and been collecting — it’s pretty phenomenal, to be perfectly honest.”
The world record attempt will occur at the Lake Jackson Historical Museum from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The address is 249 Circle Way, Lake Jackson, TX 77566, USA.
A Day to Remember Selena
This event is not just about setting a world record; it’s a celebration of Selena’s enduring legacy. Guests will have the opportunity to view an extraordinary display of over 1,300 pieces of Selena memorabilia from Longoria’s personal collection. This includes rare Selena dolls, perfumes, boutique items, and much more.
The event promises to be a memorable experience for fans of all ages. In addition to the extensive memorabilia display, there will be a variety of delicious offerings from local food trucks and hands-on activities for children, making it a family-friendly event.
Admission to this unique event is free, but guests are kindly asked to RSVP. Don’t miss this chance to be part of an official Guinness World Record attempt and to celebrate the life and legacy of Selena Quintanilla. More information on the event here.
