National Museum of Mexican Art Draws Crowds for 30th Anniversary Selena Tribute Concert

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Pilsen · November 18, 2025

Pilsen's National Museum of Mexican Art is celebrating the legacy of Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla with a special tribute concert that has captured the community's attention. The event, taking place this week at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion against the stunning Chicago skyline, marks 30 years since the world lost the beloved performer yet her voice, style, and spirit continue to inspire generations of fans.

The concert features a dynamic lineup of young, local, and national artists carrying Selena's legacy forward with fresh performances. Among the performers is rising bilingual singer-songwriter Delilah, who blends indie, Latin pop, and corridos tumbados in her music. The museum's tribute celebrates both Selena's musical contributions and her importance as a cultural icon, particularly to Mexican American communities. Located at 1852 W. 19th St., the National Museum of Mexican Art continues its tradition of offering meaningful cultural programming that resonates deeply with Pilsen residents and visitors alike.

Community members interested in attending the concert can purchase tickets online, with discounted parking available at the Millennium Park and Millennium Lakeside Garages using promo code SELENA25. For those who can't make it to the tribute concert, the museum remains open Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm with free admission, offering access to its collection of over 18,000 pieces of Mexican art and cultural artifacts.
