The Chicano Music Festival and Auction

The roots music festival of the region!

This annual festival and auction has been a staple to the Su Teatro season for more than two decades. Featuring artists and their original work from California, New Mexico, and Texas, the Chicano Music Festival and Auction celebrates the music of the Southwest influenced by Mexico’s traditions.  This is music born at the border and raised in Colorado.

Two Decades of Celebrations!

The Festival is five days of live musical performances, workshops and recognition of influential artists of Colorado. The Chicano Music Hall of Fame celebrates the artists of Colorado whose work has advanced the appreciation, consumption, and continuation of Chicano music in Colorado.  Since 2002, Su Teatro has celebrated artists for their achievements.
