Chingona Fest w/ xBValentine, Destiny Navaira, the Tiarras, Stephanie Bergara, Angélica Rahe, more

Vivan las chingonas. Reclaimed from the pile of insults hurled at women for being too much, “chingona” now appears on every possible accessory. These days, the word denotes butt-kicking personal effectiveness for those who invoke it. In that spirit, Chingona Fest Texas returns for its first in-person event since 2019, showcasing the Latine community with a daylong party of performers, market makers, and treat-making shakers assembled to inspire. Rising Texas rapper xBValentine takes top billing, but Destiny Navaira, niece of titan Emilio Navaira, brings Tejano heat. Austin faves the Tiarras, Stephanie Bergara (Bidi Bidi Banda), and Angélica Rahe kick things off. – Christina Garcia
