With the Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair relocating to Hemisfair from its longtime roost in Historic Market Square, the downtown mercado is launching a new, week-long music fest to take its place.

More than 70 Tejano, country and rock acts will perform March 9-17, at the first-ever Market Square Spring Fest. The shows will run noon-10 p.m. daily.

The announcement of the Market Square Spring Fest comes days after organizers of the annual Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair, which has taken place in March at Market Square for the past decade, revealed that event is jumping to Hemisfair.

Market Square Spring Fest's headliners will include Tejano star Jay Perez, country singer Mario Flores and rock band Passing Strangers. The rest of the lineup is available at the festival’s Instagram account.
