A quick history about CACFest
CACFest started in El Salvador in 2005 as a mere gathering of singer-songwriters. It was brought to Austin TX in 2011 by his founder, Salvadoran singer-songwriter Mauricio Callejas, debuting with a sold out concert at the Cactus Cafe, since then CACFest has organized outdoor community events and more intimate concerts at different local venues. This project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Economic Development Department, Cultural Arts Division and the Texas Commission of the Arts.
This project could not be possible without the support of the local community, the City of Austin, local organizations like La Peña, Alianza Cultural Latinoamericana, volunteers from different countries and cultures that believe in our mission of spreading the good news that come from Central America in the way of authentic art expressions.
