FIESTA GRANDE 2005 - APRIL 2 & 3

Last year Fiesta Grande was a smash hit with over 45,000 visitors to the street fair. This year will be even better because the Fiesta is two days, SATURDAY, APRIL 2nd & SUNDAY, APRIL 3rd from 10 – sunset. And, what’s even more exciting is we will unveil our first two permanent historic murals. We have a carnival with a FERRIS WHEEL, a PARADE DOWN GRANDE, GREAT TEJANO BANDS AND MORE! Plan to spend the weekend in the neighborhood with all your family, friends and neighbors. Booths for the Fiesta are still available. For more information call
