“Pachanga will bring the lively party to Fiesta Gardens on May 30th, that is for sure,” says Alejandro Vallejo, event organizer and Vallejo band member. “’For the first annual we chose artists that were a little left of center, this year we are bringing in acts that cross all Latin musical genres. There is truly something for everyone no matter age, taste or color.”
