Washington’s Birthday Celebration
After 109 years, this is still the best party on the South Texas border. Features a mixture of a Mexican fiesta and a Fourth of July celebration. Combines the gallantry of Colonial America, the serenity of the Native American culture, the colors of a Mexican Fiesta and the essence of Mardi Gras. The almost month-long celebration includes parades, a carnival, an air show, fireworks, street festivals, a nationally renowned jalapeno-eating contest, live concerts and more.
