A FUN, FRIENDLY EVENT!
See What You Will at the Port of Brownsville Saturday, May 14 10 am - 4 pm The Port of Brownsville is more than ships and trains and the trucks we fill. We’ve got fun things to climb, mechanical bulls and things that thrill! We’ve got boat rides and tours and lots to do. Good things to eat and tattoos, too. Coast Guard ships and helicopters and boats galore! You’d be surprised at just how much more. We’ve got slithery snakes
and pelicans
and fish that fight! Even admirals and captains - it’s quite a sight. We’ve got exhibits and things that make you scream “wheeee!” Prizes
and face painting
and, it’s all FREE!
We’re celebrating our 80th anniversary and you’re invited! All visitors use the S.H. 550 port entrance off of Hwy 48/Padre Island Blvd. Follow directional signs to Event Parking and obey all Port Police instructions. Enjoy your day as our guest!
