This longtime midtown rivalry is always a “you never know” type of game. Kickoff is at 7 pm at Arlington High School “Lion’s Den” Stadium at 2951 Jackson Street.

Mucho Gusto Festival returns to North Park on September 21, promising to bring even more fun than its impressive inaugural event last year. Curated by Cosme Cordova and the squad at Division 9, this festival aims to transcend borders—both geographically and musically—by offering a genre-defying lineup that blends sounds from around the world.
The festival's music is both carefree and socially conscious, haunting yet joyful, with a rich mix of instruments, including electric guitars, congas, synthesizers, accordions, and turntables. Mucho Gusto is more than just a music festival; it's a cultural experience filled with bright colors, intricate rhythms, and melodies that reflect the diversity of the artists.
