Brace yourself for this month-long festival. George Washington's Birthday, the largest of its kind since 1898. Special events within the festival include the Society of Martha Washington Colonial Pageant and Ball, the Jalapeno Festival, the Noche de Cabaret, the Princess Pocahontas Pageant and Ball, several parades and a finale of fireworks.
See the stars at The Lamar Bruni Vergara Planetarium, on the Texas A&M International University campus. Spend an afternoon or evening watching a feature film, exploring the heavens, learning about the secrets of outer space or even enjoying a show set to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." In Laredo, you won't find an attraction that's more out-of-this-world.
Stop by for a beautiful symphony with the Laredo Philharmonic Orchestra. The Laredo Philharmonic Orchestra features collaborations with Texas A&M International University's Chamber Orchestra of Laredo and the Laredo Philharmonic Chorale. Enjoy an evening set to the music of Laredo-everything from classic renditions to modern interpretations.
