Huge balloon characters are the highlight of the McAllen Christmas Parade while in Brownsville miniature houses with different themes will surely put you in the Christmas spirit. To add to the entertainment, carnival rides were added last year. You will oh and ah when you take the two-mile-long lighted trail on the open-air trolley. Local school talent is a big part of this popular event. ![]() The popularity of this festival draws such a large crowd that the venue was moved from the Hidalgo Chamber to the Payne Arena. This festival is generally scheduled to begin the second week of December and continues through the month. One of my favorite festivals is the Festival of Lights held annually in the small town of Hidalgo. This festival always offers something for the young and old. This is when the birds are moving from their northern habitat to the warmer climates in the south. It is always held around the second week in November during the fall migration – but registration for tours, starts nearly a month prior. One of the biggest festivals in Harlingen is the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival. Now let’s look forward to celebrating our bird population. We are lucky to have a world class zoo in Brownsville (Gladys Porter Zoo) – a great place to take yourself, but especially exciting to the grandchildren who may visit. Did you attend the festival held on South Padre Island?Ĭancelled in previous years because of the pandemic, but celebrated this year was Boo at the Zoo in Brownsville … that is always a safe and fun way to celebrate Halloween. Somewhere in our beautiful Rio Grande Valley there will be a Monarch Festival. The Monarch Butterfly migrates about the same time each year – generally in mid to late October. If you haven’t done so already, why not mark your calendars with carry over dates for 2023. So many of these festivals are annual events and occur about the same time each year. Plus added to that enjoyment we have cities who are always promoting entertainment and special parades and festivals. ![]() For the most part we are able to enjoy the great outdoors throughout the entire year. “I’m also extremely proud of our chapter members who understand NTEU’s role in protecting the rights of all employees and keeping us safe and secure, as well.We are truly blessed. “We do whatever it takes to keep this country safe,” said Chapter 160 President Donald Cadriel, who credited Chief Steward Cindy Gutierrez with organizing the chapter’s participation. Along with providing a safe place for law enforcement families to trick or treat, the event gave NTEU and management officials a chance to interact on a personal level.Ĭhapter 160 leaders Christian Trevino and Robert Hyatt handed out candy to the children at the event, which 400 members registered to attend. The chapter hosted a tent at a special law enforcement “Boo at the Zoo” night at the Gladys Porter Zoo, in Brownsville, Texas. But last weekend, Chapter 160 (Customs and Border Protection, Brownsville) had some spooky Halloween fun with local kids. At work, they keep scary things-like illegal drugs, terrorists and their weapons-out of the country. ![]()
