Carpionocks Entertainment confirms ten shows for upcoming community event

In a recent San Benito commission meeting held on June 17, 2025, local officials discussed preparations for an upcoming community event that promises to engage residents and support local businesses. Roy Garcia from Carpionocks Entertainment presented details about the event, which will feature a mix of confirmed and pending performances, including local acts. The event is set to take place at the San Benito Fairgrounds and will include fireworks every night, making it a family-friendly occasion.

Garcia emphasized the importance of community involvement, noting that children aged 12 and under will be admitted for free. Ticket prices will range from $25 for general admission to $125 for premium shows. Attendees will be allowed to bring blankets and launchers into the general admission area, enhancing the overall experience.

Commissioners expressed their support for local restaurants, suggesting extended hours during the event to accommodate increased foot traffic. This initiative aims to help local vendors recover from recent economic challenges, providing them with an opportunity to boost sales during the busy weekend.

In addition to the event discussions, the meeting included a public hearing regarding a conditional use permit for a mobile food truck seeking to sell alcohol. This proposal, presented by applicant Sergio Guerra, was opened for public comment, reflecting the commission's commitment to community input in local business matters.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the San Benito commission's focus on fostering community spirit through events while also addressing the needs of local businesses. As preparations continue, the commission aims to ensure a successful and inclusive event that benefits both residents and local vendors.
