Southwest Fest: The Neighborhoods’ Biggest Music Event of the Summer

Photos are from last years Southwest Fest by Rizzy’s Photography.

On Saturday, August 19th, 2023, the Senate Theater will be hosting Southwest Fest from 2pm-11pm. This will be the third consecutive year the community festival has taken place at the Senate Theater, and has continued to grow both in attendance and in contributors to the event. This year’s lineup will have a total of 45 acts, which is five more additional acts than last year’s event. Gabriel Duran, the event’s lead organizer, talks about how the event came to be and his passion for his community.

“There were a few years in a row where [Southwest Detroit] didn’t have the Cinco De Mayo festivities going on the same way they did when some of us were growing up where the parade would end with a large festival at Clark Park, and we started losing some events like the Puerto Rican festival. Those things don’t really happen too much,” Duran states. “You can go back even further back into the 80’s and 90’s, we used to have a Hispanic/Latin Festival Downtown in Hart Plaza, ”

Duran also explains how accessibility for community members serves as the festival’s biggest focus. “Of the festivals that have evolved into these large scale events, they started charging a lot of money, and we still live in a neighborhood where these types of festivals aren’t as accessible to a majority of the people in the neighborhood,” Duran said. “The biggest idea was accessibility…providing the neighborhood and community with a large-scale event, that’s just as exciting as these large-scale festivals, but it’s free; free for everybody to attend and to embrace the cultures that we have.”

With the cost of admission being free, one would wonder how the event makes any money. According to Duran, he and his team have put together a fundraising committee to reach out to local businesses that want to give back to the neighborhood through Southwest Fest. Duran and his team are now getting to a point financially, where they’re able to bring in money for the event through larger entities which gives them a chance to work with a larger budget than in previous years. As a result of each year’s success, the fundraising committee has been able to double in fundraising revenues , with hopes of doing the same this year.

Duran has also made it clear how important it is to showcase the talent that Southwest Detroit has. He states that 85 percent of this year’s lineup for the event is all from Southwest. A few of those names include Camilla Cantu, Estilo 45, and Disc Jockey George. “It’s [about] bringing it back to collectiveness with the community,” Duran states. “ By putting on a festival this size, it looks fun, and you’re automatically bringing that audience. When you bring that audience together, you’re showing them people who are essentially their neighbors and it’s going to make them support these artists more. The more support these artists get from their own community, the more likely it is that they’ll be able to elevate themselves consistently throughout their career and journey through music.”

There will be three stages: The Coney Lot which is aimed towards young adults; the Community Lot, which will serve as this year’s main stage and will have 70 vendors. Those vendors will consist of food services, community resources and other small businesses and will have performances from grupos, bandas, and younger acts. Finally, inside the State Theater, there will be short film presentations and dance groups.

Southwest Fest is open to all ages, something that Duran talks about as one of the highlights of the event. “It really is a huge mix,” Duran states. “You’ll see kids from 5-7 years old, to seeing our elders present, being in their early to late 70’s. [Southwest Fest] is one of the only times where we see all age demographics present at various points throughout the event in the same spot coexisting.”

This has been an event the community looks forward to every year. Duran states that many people reached out to him after the first event expressing not only how much they loved it, but how much it was needed. Within a few short years, Southwest Fest has become a staple event looking to raise the bar each and every year.

Eric Guzman was raised right outside of Detroit but has strong roots in the southwest area. Eric has a strong passion for writing about sports, music, pop culture. He graduated from The University of Michigan-Dearborn with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and strives to make an impact in the world of multimedia.

Southwest Fest: el evento musical más grande del verano

El sábado 19 de agosto de 2023, el Teatro del Senado presentará el Southwest Fest de 2 p. m. a 11 p. m. Este será el tercer año consecutivo que el festival comunitario se llevará a cabo en el Teatro del Senado y ha crecido tanto en popularidad como en la cantidad de patrocinadores del evento. Este año tendrá un total de 45 actos, que son cinco más que el evento del año pasado. Gabriel Duran, el principal organizador, habla sobre cómo se ha llevado a cabo el evento y su pasión por la comunidad.

“Hubo años consecutivos en los que, en el suroeste de Detroit, las festividades del Cinco de Mayo no fueron de la misma manera que cuando algunos de nosotros estábamos pequeños y donde el desfile terminaba con un gran festival en Clark Park; comenzando a perder algunos eventos como el festival puertorriqueño. Esas cosas realmente no suceden demasiado”, afirma Duran. “Puedes retroceder aún más a los años 80 y 90, solíamos tener un festival hispano/latino en el centro de la ciudad en Hart Plaza”.

Duran también explica que la accesibilidad para la comunidad es el punto más importante del festival. “Los festivales que se convirtieron en estos eventos a gran escala, se volvieron muy caros y aún vivimos en una comunidad donde este tipo de festivales, no son tan accesibles para la mayoría de la gente”, dijo Duran. “La idea más importante fue la accesibilidad… brindarle al vecindario y a la comunidad un evento a gran escala, que fuera tan emocionante como esos, pero gratis; para que todos asistan y compartan un poco la cultura”.

Dado que es gratuito, uno se pregunta cómo se va a financiar el evento. Según Duran, él y su equipo han creado un comité de recaudación de fondos para llegar a las empresas locales que quieran retribuir al vecindario a través de Southwest Fest. Están llegando a un punto financiero en el que pueden recaudar dinero para el evento a través de grandes entidades, lo que les da la oportunidad de trabajar con un mayor presupuesto que en años anteriores. Como resultado del éxito de cada año, el comité de recaudación de fondos ha podido duplicarlos, con la esperanza de hacer lo mismo este año.

Duran también ha recalcado la importancia de mostrar el talento que tiene el suroeste de Detroit. Afirma que el 85 por ciento de los artistas de este año son locales. Algunos de éstos incluyen a Camilla Cantú, Estilo 45 y Disc Jockey George. “Se trata de traerlos de vuelta a la comunidad”, afirma Duran. “Al organizar un festival de este tamaño, se ve divertido y automáticamente atraes a esa audiencia y les muestras a las personas que todos son esencialmente sus vecinos, lo que generará más apoyo a los artistas; cuanto más apoyo obtengan ellos de su propia comunidad, más probable es que trasciendan a lo largo de su carrera y trayectoria musical”.

Habrá tres escenarios: The Coney Lot, que está dirigido a adultos jóvenes; el Lote Comunitario, que servirá como escenario principal de este año y contará con 70 vendedores. Esos vendedores serán de alimentos, recursos comunitarios y pequeños empresarios y tendrán actuaciones de Grupos, Bandas y otros artistas. Finalmente, dentro del Teatro del Estado, habrá presentaciones de cortometrajes y grupos de baile.

Southwest Fest es para todas las edades, algo de lo que Duran habla como uno de los aspectos más destacados del evento. “Realmente es una gran mezcla”, afirma Duran. “Verás a niños de 5 a 7 años y a nuestros adultos mayores, que tienen más de 70 años. Ésta es una de las únicas ocasiones en las que vemos coexistiendo todas las edades en varios puntos a lo largo del evento en el mismo lugar”.

Este es un evento que la comunidad espera con ansias. Durán afirma que muchas personas se acercaron a él después del primer evento y expresaron no solo cuánto les encantó, sino también cuánto lo necesitaban. En unos pocos años, Southwest Fest se ha convertido en un evento básico que busca subir de nivel todos los años.

Eric Guzmán se crió en las afueras de Detroit, pero tiene fuertes raíces en el área del suroeste. Eric tiene una gran pasión por escribir sobre deportes, música y cultura pop. Se graduó de la Universidad de Michigan-Dearborn con una licenciatura en periodismo y se esfuerza por tener un impacto en el mundo de la multimedia.
