Thursday officially kicks off the 80th Victoria Livestock show and part of the fun is the legendary beer garden! The beer garden is where the grown folks go to have fun after dark, and this year they bring back Tejano music for both Friday and Saturday nights.

The past two years, the Tejano entertainment has brought in the most people at the beer garden.

Friday, February 27, will feature Freddie recording artist Lucy Joe.

This Friday, February 27, will feature headliner, Lucky Joe, and he is back by popular demand. Last year, he brought a standing room only performance. His current album, "Canciones de Corazon," has had four monster radio singles.

Saturday, February 28, will close out with Ricardo Castillon Y La Diferenzia

On Saturday night, February 28, Ricardo Castillon Y La Diferenzia will headline. They are currently coming off a resurgence in 2025 with the album "Recacimento del Pheonix." He also had huge nights at the Premios Tejano Mundial and the Tejano Music Awards.

Admission to the Beer Garden is FREE.

There will be a $5 per person admission fee to enter the fairgrounds, whether you park inside the Community Center or walk on the fair grounds. The grand opening and official ribbon cutting for the VLS is on Thursday morning.

Thursday will open up the exhibit hall, the arena, and the pavilion with the youth showing their animals. There will be plenty of food vendors and lots of shopping. There is even a teen dance on Saturday night in the adjacent VLS hall.
