Somehow, the Poteet Strawberry Festival — about 115 miles from Austin, near San Antonio — has gotten even sweeter. It's hosting its first-ever Berry Bash Musical Thursday, which kicks off the now four-day festival with a free night of music. The inaugural headliners on April 10 are the Tejano group David Lee Garza y Los Musicales.

Garza was born and raised in Poteet where he learned to play accordion with his father. Los Musicales are a family band, also featuring Garza's brothers Richard and Adam on bass guitar and drums, respectively. They're joined by Ricardo Rios on saxophone, Billy O’Rourke on bajo sexto (a large 12-string guitar) and vocals, Daniel Fernandez on keyboards, John Cruz on electric guitar, and Cezar Martinez on lead vocals.

Fans will get to dance on a mobile dance floor during the set. The band's website promises "hit after hit with a combination of easily danceable melodies and earthy roots music blend of Country, Tex-Mex and straight up Tejano."

Three headliners round out the rest of the festival: De Parranda with Como La Flor on Friday, That Mexican OT on Saturday, and William Beckmann on Sunday.

Garza is no stranger to this festival, having played it since 1988. However, this is the first time the festival is dedicating an opening night to live music. It'll be presented by Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails.

The festival itself has been around for much longer — since 1948 — and expects more than 100,000 visitors each year. It's like a county fair, complete with live music, a rodeo, a parade, an arts and crafts fair, and a strawberry auction keeping it on-theme. That's all spread across 100 acres.

The Poteet Strawberry Festival will be held April 10-13 at at 9199 N. State Hwy 16 in Poteet. Individual tickets for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday start at $20 online. Group tables and three-day passes ($50) are also available at poteetstrawberryfestival.com.
