Things to do in RGV

We may come to our daughters in April & stay about a week or so. They will be at work & granddaughter will be in school. What are somethings to do in the area? I know about the DonWes Flea Market. Other suggestions to get us out of their house during the day?
  • 1. Hand operated ferry.
    2. Call local high schools for mariachi concerts. Tickets can be hard to come by, though.
    3. Events at McAllen Performing Arts
    4. UTRGV NCAA sports.
    5. RGV Vipers
    6. Onion Fest
    7. Borderfest
    8. Flea Markets. Don Wes is mostly winter Texan. Mercadome near Alamo is much more interesting.
    9. Delia's Tamales
    10. Roma. -- about 25 miles west of Mission. Go to the birding overlook. There you have a great overlook of the river. Usually border patrol and Texas SHP there to visit with.
  • During the Winter, there are dozens of dances every month. Even in the Summer there are three or four a week around the RGV.
