The McAllen Tamale Fest has arrived in the Rio Grande Valley. The signature event for the Boys & Girls Club of McAllen has proven to be a success since its inauguration. Together with the City of McAllen, this festival celebrates tamales, traditions, and family. The McAllen Tamale Fest consists of tamale tasting competition, tamale making classes, and the ever-popular tamale eating contest. You can also find live entertainment, children and family activities, artisan booths, tamale and food vendors, and a beer tent. Proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of McAllen, which serves more than 11,000 children. FUN WITH A PURPOSE is our aim for all the children who come through our door for after-school services, sports, and summer camp programs.
