Charro Days is an annual fiesta celebrated in late February in Brownsville, Texas. This event brings together the community to showcase the city's unique features and celebrate the Mexican heritage of the area on both sides of the Rio Grande. The festival was first conceived in 1937 by local business leaders to pay tribute to the "Charro," the dashing Mexican gentleman cowboy. The festival celebrates the spirit of two cultures and unites the border towns of Brownsville and Matamoros. It pays homage to Brownsville's location on the border with Mexico and its rich cultural heritage. During the festival, residents and visitors dress up in traditional Mexican outfits to honor the "Charros," the heroes of the borderlands and Mexican cowboys.

The National Butterfly Center is a scenic destination that spans over 100 acres and is a prime location in the country for butterfly enthusiasts who want to get close to these beautiful insects. With over 300 species of butterflies thriving among some of the most lush plant life in the Rio Grande Valley, the Center offers a mesmerizing sight. The monarch butterfly is an iconic American species that has unfortunately decreased in numbers due to shrinking habitats, environmental toxins, and climate change. Public interest in conservation efforts to protect this species has increased, which is a positive development. However, it is essential to note that of the 456 butterfly species tracked by NABA, 320 have shown less positive trends than the monarch butterfly.
