Today will be full of amazing musicians from across Abilene and West Tejas. Come by Play Faire Park and give some love to Doc and Melanie for their decades of friendship and support for local music, and local creators of every kind.

There will never be another Doc, he is a true original. We will forever be grateful for all he has given our community, and Abilene will always be a brighter place because of the generations of creative people he inspired.

We are genuinely honored to be hosting the first solo show for Christina Romero-gonzales. Christina’s roots are deep and wide, and go back further than colonial memory. Her art has long been medicine on our walls, and she has elevated each gallery show she has participated in.

Christina has been an instrumental part of the People’s Plaza for many years, and our First Fridays, vendor markets, live music and gallery shows, are all brought together with her gentle yet determined touch. She has supported many artists from behind the scenes, and it is truly exciting to see her step into the spotlight. Her salon is a place of experimentation and reverent acceptance, and this is grounded in who she is, and deeply reflected in her art.

We hope all of you will come out this Saturday, and share in her signature show.

See you then 🪘🦌🪶 🌕⛈️🔥✨🖤
