This was our biggest Burritofest yet. This was by far the most acts we've ever booked. It's a daunting thing, knowing that you really need folks to show up in droves and be supportive for this thing to run. Even with a known festival, you just never know for sure until it goes. But boy howdy, it went. Seeing so many people feel belonging is a euphoria that's hard to adequately describe. We saw everyone from infants to our community elders celebrating this moment and we will never forget it. Thank you all so, so much for continuing to support this crazy little idea over the past few years. We will continue to do what we can to support this community.
We have so many people to thank. First and foremost, the outstanding staff of
@cometbar . There would be absolutely no Burritofest without their immense nonstop effort all weekend long. We also need to sincerely thank all of our volunteers, and everyone who pitched in to help at any point. You all are the backbone of festival logistics and crucial to making the thing run, our respect is profound. We want to thank all the performers for their flexibility and desire to contribute. Particularly I want to thank all of our out of town friends who made the trip and enthusiastically became part of the magic. And last, but certainly not least, we need to thank our sponsor
@westsidebrewing . For all of their financial assistance and their kindness and support throughout. They were so easy to work with and we're so grateful.
So what's next for the Burrito Boys? We're glad you asked. We're thrilled to announce we'll be rocking the 513 Summer Concert Series across the city this summer! Five shows, one city, three historic neighborhoods. It's a mix of local friends, both familiar faces and those new to the Burrito Boys family, as well as a bunch of amazing friends from elsewhere. Catch us at

@northsidetav ,
@taproom360 , and back at Comet! All of the posters feature (heavily filtered) photos of the streets where the venues are, taken in the early 20th century. We're nerds like that. We hope you'll come out to and see some really stellar music, but regardless just know that we love all of you. See ya soon!
