The Economic Development Corporation of Weslaco (EDCW) hosts the Alfresco Weslaco - Music & Art on the Street Festival with support from the City of Weslaco every third Thursday, 6 - 9:30 PM from August through February. On August 15, they kicked off the new season with a Backto-School theme and distributed over 500 backpacks to school-aged children from within the community. The festival brought in over 5,000 spectators to listen to live music, all while shopping the 130 business vendors ranging from food to artisanal crafts and informational booths. The EDCW invites everyone to attend the free, family and pet-friendly festival, which has become a cornerstone of cultural enrichment and economic vitality in the heart of Weslaco’s Historic Downtown District – from Business 83 to 6th Street on Texas Blvd. For inquiries, please call the EDCW at 956-969-0838.
