Comparable to the New Orleans Mardi Gras celebration, Laredo's Jamboozie is a colorful festival featuring music, masks and beads. The rowdy celebration fills over 20 blocks downtown and consists of exotic food, dancing, and international performers. Join in the conga line as Jamboozie breathes new life into Laredo's downtown streets.
The historic San Augustin Plaza covers the downtown district that was the original city of Laredo. It contains historical monuments such as the Cathedral of San Agustin, the oldest building in Laredo since 1755, as well as the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum and the Border Heritage Museum. Architecture within the plaza consists of Mission, Spanish Revival and Greek Revival styles.
Children will love learning about the Rio Grande ecosystem at the Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center. Located on the campus of Laredo Community College, this environmental science center contains live specimens of local flora and fauna in a living laboratory. It's a great outdoor educational center for any family vacation.
