Womanhood, wellness to take center stage at FridaFest in Edinburg

The city of Edinburg will be hosting its 12th annual FridaFest this weekend where attendees can celebrate creativity, wellness, womanhood and art.

The event will be held Saturday from 5 to 11 p.m. in front of the Arts, Culture and Events Center, located at 315 W. McIntyre St. in Edinburg.

This year’s festivities will include two stages that will feature performances by Alejandra y sus Diamantes, La Gran Sonora and Tejano Queen Forever, a Selena tribute band.

Throughout the free event attendees can immerse themselves in a world of art, creativity and color with folklorico performances, chalk art exhibits where local artists will show off their talent, as well as Frida inspired fashion.

In fact, in honor of the Mexican artist, the city is encouraging attendees to dress as Frida Kahlo.

Other festivities include Frida’s Petting Zoo as well as food trucks and local vendors where attendees can browse for unique items.

This year’s festival will also feature the return of the FridaRiders Caravan who will be making a grand entrance at FridaFest.
