To all of our Facebook friends and followers, we’re excited to share that we’re bringing back Fiesta Hispana in 2025. This event is a treasured part of our community’s history, and we’d love to hear your stories and memories of it. Please share your photos and the stories behind them so we can relive these special moments together. Please send all images and stories to: info@elev8cultura.com

We would love to share your memories from now until the event. The Baldarra family lived in Rockford since the 1960s. Talented musicians and great friends. They were from my birth place hometown of Devine Texas. They moved back to Texas and became and still are very well known Tejano music Artists. Go to YouTube and search Rick Baldarrama or Henry Baldarrama to hear the music. -Armando Cardenas
