Fiesta Edinburg 2012

Mark your calendar for Fiesta Edinburg 2012 — it’s set for Thursday, Feb. 23, through Sunday, Feb. 26, at the Edinburg Municipal Park.

Two headliners have been announced for the event: Jeremih and Dance Gavin Dance. Both will perform on the main stage Saturday, Feb. 25.

The single « Birthday Sex » peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and catapulted Jeremih into the hip-hop spotlight.

post-hardcore rock band Dance Gavin Dance has been through a number of lineup changes with lead singer Jonny Craig responsible for most of the drama, due to his alleged drug abuse. In October, Craig was arrested for drug-related offenses. The band went on hiatus while Craig deals with his legal issues and rehab.

Fiesta Edinburg 2012 will feature the annual parade with the theme of « Fiesta » on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Other stages will host hip-hop, rock, alternative and tejano bands through the weekend. A carnival will be set up for the entire weekend with a special price of $5 for all-you-can-ride tickets for Thursday, Feb. 23.
