Tony Villarreal, one of the festival’s owners, previously told KSAT that they expanded the festival in response to the large turnout last year, which led to long lines at the entrance and dozens of complaints.

The festival, which calls for live music, food trucks and vendors, will be held at The Greenline inside Brooks. Music lineup, ticket prices and other details have yet to be announced.
