ModelFiesta is the longest running annual modeling event in IPMS Region 6. The contest has grown in size and quality since its early days and now averages over 120 vendor tables and over 500 models entered in the contest each year. With a regular and strong international attendance by modelers from all over Latin America, ModelFiesta is one of the most unique, varied, and highly regarded IPMS events in the region.

The new home for ModelFiesta, the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center (NBCC), is just a quick 20 min drive up the I-35 corridor from San Antonio, and it is closer for those coming to the event from the north (Austin, Dallas). For modelers coming in from the East (Houston, Louisiana), I-10 is still the primary route to take, exiting in Seguin on Hwy-46 to New Braunfels. From the west and south, attendees can connect to Hwy-46 through various roads and highways and reach New Braunfels with ease. NBCC is a relatively new structure with excellent lighting, electrical hook-ups, and a professional and helpful staff.
