Texas Street Fest XV: Celebrating 15 years of community and culture
Featuring: Poder Del Norte, Los Palominos, David Lee Garza, Jay Perez, & Alicia C.
Mercedes, TX. - The City of Mercedes is gearing up to host its 15th Annual largest Labor Day Weekend Festival in South Texas, closing the event with Poder Del Norte.
The 15th Annual Texas Street Festival will be on Saturday, September 2, from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.
The celebration will be downtown, the heart of Mercedes, on the corner of Texas Business 83 and 5th Street. It will showcase the downtown business community. Attendees get to explore Mercedes’ preserved history with buildings from the 1920s and walk around to explore the businesses.
“We have worked so hard the past 6 months. It is a large volunteer group that includes the Chamber of Commerce, the Development Corporation, Public Works, Police Department, fire department, other city staff, and student groups from Mercedes I.S.D.” says Fred Gonzalez, Chamber of Commerce President.
Fred has been active with the chamber for 19 years. “15 years ago, we did some research to figure out what big event we can pull off showcasing downtown and being considerate to other RGV cities, making sure we don’t have an event in the same month. The first Texas Street festival we started off with about 5,000 people and we all feel extremely proud that it’s grown to 20,000 plus”, says Fred.
The event promises plenty of food, drinks, arts and crafts and informational booths along with free rides for kids, a car show, a wrestling match and more!
Headlining the main stage will be Poder Del Norte, Los Palominos, David Lee Garza, Jay Perez, & Alicia C.
