Description

The culmination of the day long NM Centennial Summerfest is a free concert by the popular group, Los Lobos. The multiple Grammy Award-winning American blues and rock band from East Los Angeles, California has over three-plus decades become superstars. Their music burst upon the scene in the early1970s and exploded into national prominence with their first Grammy® win in 1984. Now a musical force worldwide, their music is influenced by rock and roll, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues, brown-eyed soul, and traditional Spanish and Mexican music such as cumbia, boleros and norteños. Another word for their music is infectious! This crowd-pleasing band will rock the night in celebration of 100 years of New Mexico Statehood.

I have been going to the show most of the years its been around. so I hope tChis information helps you enjoy the show as much as I do.
Happy Sampling.
went to the show from 3-6pm Saturday.  Lots of tasty salsas and BBQ sauce. you just have to maneuver through a lot of people. this show is always very crowded. but well worth it if you like Salsa and Sauce.
Make sure you try the Garden fresh Salsa at a fair price of 2 for $5, Might as well take some home.
Other ones to try are

• *Phils gourmet sauce, 
• Salsa king out of Phoenix, AZ. 
• Flaming Joes had a great Jerk sauce and the BBQ sauce was good too.  
• A & J family farms LLC had a great tasting Honey and if you want to build a tolerance to local pollen to lessen your allergies. eat local honey. 
• Make sure to pick up Dave Dewitts newest book Chile trivia (see how much you know)
• want to take home a t-shirt with out spending $18 there are some right in the middle of the show at a booth called David Carey (I think)  classy t-shirts for $5 & $10 inexpensive beads for the kids great value all around.
