This Saturday, June 1st, the third Agave Festival Marfa is being hosted and the lineup is really extraordinary. And thanks to the support of a lot of local institutions and the City of Marfa, almost all of the talks, film, exhibitions, and performances are free.
Agave Festival Marfa is an annual festival celebrating the agave and its influence on culture through food, film, music, and science. The Festival treats the agave as the indicator species for a region that is binational, multilingual, and deeply informed by indigenous history. It brings communities together through outstanding free and accessible programming including talks by preeminent historians, botanists, artists, anthropologists, and archaeologists. Films, exhibitions, and tastings with agave spirit producers as well as unforgettable dining experiences are offered to everyone. Performances by leading artists in contemporary and regional music add dimension to the lively 9-day event.
