MACCnifico
The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican-American Cultural Center (ESB MACC) will host its first annual MACCnífico – a celebration of Austin Tejano & Latino music and culture. We will showcase local musicians and performing artists who contribute to Austin’s diverse Latinx art community, inviting the public to celebrate the biggest week of live music in Austin. With live performances, food trucks, on-site activations, and special guests, it will be a “magnificent” display of Austin’s Latinx culture, so in other words, “MACC-nifico”!
THURSDAY, MARCH 17
On Thursday 3/17 the ESB MACC will exclusively present performances by our artist residency program, LAAP (Latino Artist Access Program). Past LAAP performances at the MACC have included live sets by singer-songwriters, theater productions, live comedy shows, and even traditional folkloric dance.Performances by:
- Ballet Folklorico de Austin
- ¡ESCANDALO! Improv
- Javier Jara
- Mauricio Callejas
- Monique Dache
- Teatro Vivo
- Fisterra
This event will take place outdoors on the MACC Zocalo, our central plaza that has always served as our gathering place for large events. Admission to the event is free of charge and open to the general public with a health screening.Guests who arrive early to the event will also be able to chat with various community outreach tables, vendors, and local organizations. If you’ve never been to Austin, come find out about the work being done in our communities! And for those local attendees, connect with organizations that further the MACC’s mission to preserve, promote, and facilitate an appreciation for Latinx culture and connect to our ever-growing community.The event is free to attend, but capacity is limited due to social distancing measures. Guests can access a health questionnaire online to fill out before they arrive at the event, and temperatures will be taken upon arrival. Guests are advised not to attend if they have been exposed to COVID, have a recent positive COVID diagnosis, and/or have been ill.
IMPORTANT NOTES: There is no alcohol at this event. It is all- ages.We will also offer a concurrent digital event for those who cannot attend in person.

The community can participate by commenting during the livestream and exploring various resources linked from the this website, www.MACCnifico.net, making this a collective digital event.The ESB MACC welcomes all visitors! We have used the term “Latinx” to describe events such as MACCnifico in order to be as inclusive as possible. The ESB MACC audience is wonderfully diverse, and embraces a variety of self-identifying terms, such as Latino, Latina, Latine, Latinx, Chicano/a/x, Mexican American, Tejano/a/ax, Afro-Latino/a/x, Indigenous, BIPOC, and many others. We understand that there is no one term that encompasses every identity. We embrace ongoing conversations about inclusive language and welcome your feedback
