Check out an event at the city's multi-purpose entertainment venue, the McAllen Convention Center. The center hosts a little bit of everything, from hunting, home and craft expos, to sporting events, conferences, graduations, and concerts. Disturbed, Deadmau5, Air Supply, and The Temptations have played the venue.
This region of South Texas is known as being a birder's paradise, so it's not surprising that the city of Harlingen hosts an event like the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival. If bird watching is your hobby, learn more about the craft and the animal you're admiring at this nature fest. Guided bird tours, a trade show, children's activities, and seminars are all part of this festival.
