Visit the Union Colony Civic Center for a concert celebrating the “Queen of Tejano Music,” with Selena tribute band Los Chicos del 512 at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 24.

Featuring popular hits such as “Amor Prohibido,” “Como la Flor,” and “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom”, Los Chicos will transport the audience back to the height of Selena fame.

After halting performances due to COVID-19, Los Chicos are back on tour with two new band members. Previous performance highlights include performing for the Chicago Bulls and traveling to Okinawa, Japan in 2019 to perform for the U.S. Marines.
