The Caracara Trails project is an ambitious plan to create a 428-mile trail network in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas. This project aims to connect the region's natural, cultural, and historical resources to foster a more unified regional identity. Its primary goal is to promote healthier lifestyles and create a sense of community pride among residents. The Lower Rio Grande Valley Active Transportation and Tourism Plan includes a trail network to boost the local community's economic development. The trail network targets the growing "active tourism" market, which promotes healthy living and physical activity to create job opportunities and support small business activity. Furthermore, it encourages tourist spending that can contribute to the local economy and ultimately lead to more economic growth.

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.
