About this Event
This year, as we take a break from the traditional contest format, we're excited to bring the essence of the Big Squeeze directly to your communities!
Join us for the Big Squeeze Showcase in Dallas, featuring performances by the always entertaining band, The Homeboyz.
Our program is packed with a vibrant lineup of showcases and interactive community charrettes, offering an engaging experience for all. Best of all, this event is FREE and open to the public.
The Big Squeeze Contest will return in 2025 with even more excitement!
Don't miss performances by:
Elena Fainshtein with students Elayne Doggett and Elijah Clements
Jesus Venegas and Frederico Longoria
Osviel Parra and Andony Parra
Featuring Jose “Bumper” Gomez as our host for the showcase!
The Big Squeeze 2024 is made possible thanks to the generous support of Texas Folklife Board Members, members statewide, Hohner, Inc., Texas Commission on the Arts, and H-E-B. We extend our gratitude to our regional partners: Bullock Texas State History Museum, Rancho Alegre, The City of Houston through the Miller Theatre Advisory Board, Dallas College, Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District, and other stakeholders dedicated to preserving and continuing the accordion tradition.
