2011 International Accordion Festival

Held every year at La Villita, along downtown San Antonio's Riverwalk, the International Accordion Festival features performances, workshops, open mic sessions, and accordion jams.

On four stages, enjoy ensembles from around the globe and from right here in Texas. In our workshop area, find informal sessions and performances featuring up-close and personal interactions with master artists and their music.

It's big, it's outdoors, and it's dancing and fun for the whole family. And best of all, all three days are entirely FREE! The festival also boasts ethnic foods, beverages and merchandise booths.

Celebrate San Antonio's love of the accordion and join us for the FREE annual all-star celebration!
