Family-run KEDA Radio Jalapeño (1540 AM) in San Antonio celebrates 41 years on the air with a two-day conjunto blowout in Mission County Park. - Vancouver Squeezebox Circle (Tuesday in Vancouver, BC)
The Accordion Noir gang launches a monthly gathering for accordion (and concertina, bandoneon, etc.) players in the Vancouver area. - Tribute to Adam Hebert (Saturday in Lafayette, LA)
Famed Cajun songwriter and fiddler Adam Hebert will be honored with an afternoon of Cajun musician featuring the Pine Leaf Boys, Lafayette Rhythm Devils, and more.
A note to our friends north of the border: our calendar (finally) supports Canadian events! So whether it’s a polka dance in Medicine Hat or a musette revival in Montreal, let us know what’s going on in your area.
And don’t forget, Monday is the last day to enter our birthday contest. Post a comment to receive free Let’s Polka stickers and maybe even an accordion book or polka DVD. Everyone’s a winner!

Who is in charge of the conjunto festival at rosedale park? It has not been the same since Mr. Tejeda ran it.

Nicky, are you talking about the Tejano Conjunto Festival coming up in May? As far as I know, Juan Tejeda is running it this year and they have a pretty impressive lineup scheduled (Joel Guzman, Mingo Saldivar, Oscar Hernandez, Flaco Jimenez, Eva Ybarra, etc.). Check the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center site for more information.

That’s because you didn’t post a comment on our birthday contest post. Post a recommended artist/album there and we’ll send you some stickers.
