A music festival dedicated to Selena Quintanilla, one of the greatest Tejano/a singers of all time,…read moreFiesta de la Flor is all Selena related. If you're a Selena fan, then why haven't you checked this place out yet? We decided to check out this festival back in 2018. My significant other is a die hard Selena fan. She worships her! Really! So I decided to surprise her with tickets to the festival. It was very reasonable in price. Each ticket was $50. It was a 2 day event with live performances from local artists and a few members from Selena's group. The festival ended with a performance fro Becky G. It was pretty windy when we were there both days. It is right next to Corpus Christi Bay. They had plenty of lunch trucks and open bars to enjoy. One of the highlights was the Selena was statue they had unveiled there. It was very full of people both days. At the end of the festival, they had a beautiful fireworks display. During the intermission sets, they had Selena music videos playing in the background. There was plenty of parking lots in the area. We had decided to Uber there, as I'm not much of a fan of driving while I'm on vacation. It is beyond amazing that the Quintanilla family and her husband, Chris Perez, keep the spirit and soul of Selena alive through the festival. It is beyond amazing that the fans come from all across the country to celebrate the life and legacy of such a beautiful singer who was robbed of her life much too soon. I have heard that there were plans to discontinue the festival. That saddens me to hear, as her legacy will alway live on. If that becomes the case, sadly, I can at least say we got to enjoy and experience this amazing festival. It was way beyond what I expected. If it does return, I'd definitely come back. Hey, Anything for Selenas!!!!!

#230-2016: It was…read moreonly 21 years ago that Selena was robbed of her chance to change the musical world once more by means of her crossover album, when her life was tragically ended. All these years have passed and her fans have kept her music and the celebration of her life alive, specially the day of her death by celebrating the greatness of her life. Then, last year magic happened and finally CORPUS CHRISTI (along with many sponsors) finally decided to officially commemorate and honor their most precious flower of all. A week end filled with Selena's music and memories as well as Tejano music performers who have gathered together to still pay their homage and rejoice of the love and amazing music Selena has brought us all in her short life. Suzette may have chosen to never perform as a percussionist without her sister but she has made a few exceptions and has never given up on the family will to keep her legacy alive. Chris has gone on to become a great artist (the Chris Perez Project is but the last of many achievements) but has been, still is and always will be honoring his late wife and the love of his life. Selena's fans storm the quiet shores of Corpus Christi every March 31st and now have even more reasons to come, the Fiesta De la Flor lasts two extremely busy days, is amazingly organized and allows Selena's message of love and humbleness to live on. So, my thanks go to Suzette, the Quintanilla family, Chris and the city of Corpus. To this year's Fiesta De la Flor and to many more!

As longtime fans of Selena, this was a stop we had been looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. Admission was only $5 per person, which was an incredible value for the experience. Upon arrival, we waited in the front area until our group was escorted inside. The tour began in Selena's recording studio, where we learned more about her life, career, and legacy through displays and information provided throughout the space. There were plenty of great photo opportunities, and it was amazing to see so many pieces of Selena's history preserved. After the studio portion, we were escorted into the museum itself. Photography was allowed, but video recording was not. Everything was kept in pristine condition, and the employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing Selena's story. Of course, no visit would be complete without stopping by the gift shop. It was larger than we expected and stocked with a wide variety of merchandise for fans. We definitely didn't leave empty-handed and walked out with a pretty good-sized bag of souvenirs. We spent about an hour exploring everything the museum had to offer, and it was time well spent. Whether you're a lifelong Selena fan or simply interested in learning more about her impact on music and culture, this is a must-visit stop when you're in Corpus Christi. A wonderful tribute to an unforgettable artist. Anything for Selenas!

I finally got down to see the Selena Museum.

I loved seeing her Grammy and Go Tejano awards among so many more. I got choked up on seeing so many of her outfits from her videos, performances, and award ceremonies. Seeing her microphone with her red lipstick on it and her MAC makeup line made me tear up. The fan art was so impressive. Her famous purple outfits from her live performances. I will say that the initial presentation that was given was good but there was too much mention of JLO. She might be relevant now but JLO would not be where she is without the part of Selena. Selena is iconic! I would love to hear more about the songs Selena recorded there in her studio. Even if it was just a few, I'd love to hear more about her songwriting and recording process. It was cool seeing where she recorded and hearing about the analog equipment. It was well worth it and a necessary must see if you're in CC!

Yes ladies and germs, best craft beer deal in TX. About 10 different local breweries were represented. Pay your money and you get your 6oz sample glass - yes, not plastic, but GLASS. Nice touch! Held at the Art and Culture center, this event was perfect: perfect weather, perfect parking, plenty of food trucks, plenty of beer, plenty of restrooms, plenty of seating and perfect setting (on the bay!). Compared to other beer festivals I've been to, this is one of the best in terms of overall value, setting, ambiance and variety. Our original plan was to visit a friend for her birthday and then all us go to the beer fest. After our experience, looks like we'll be making this an annual pilgrimage, forget her birthday!
