San Antonio’s annual celebration of that most puro of food combos, the Barbacoa & Big Red Festival, will return Oct. 7-8 for its 11th year, according to organizers.
The weekend shindig honors the beloved South Texas pairing of savory, spicy barbacoa tacos and ultra-sweet Big Red soda.
The festival will bring taco vendors and regional musicians to the R&J Music Pavilion, located at 18086 Pleasanton Road on the South Side. The full music lineup and tickets are available on the event’s website.
Festival tickets start at $10 per person for single-day general admission. VIP tickets and 2-day passes are also available. Children 12 and younger get in free.
