“Since 2024, the Freddy Fender Estate has been in partnership with the City of San Benito’s Cultural Arts Department, through the San Benito Cultural Heritage Museum, working together to honor the legacy of Freddy Fender and explore meaningful ways to better serve our community. These ongoing conversations have been rooted in celebrating the history held within the estate-run Freddy Fender Museum, established in 2007,” said Evangeline Huerta, wife of Freddy Fender and Executor of the Freddy Fender Estate.
“The Estate and the City have been thoughtfully working toward creating an experience, rooted in collaboration, preservation, and celebration, that reflects Freddy’s lasting artistic impact and his place as a source of pride for San Benito and the Rio Grande Valley. We’re grateful for your continued support and look forward to sharing our special news with you this April,” Huerta said.
