The Boys & Girls Club of McAllen’s Tamale Fest has arrived in the Rio Grande Valley! This festival celebrates tamales, traditions, and family. 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 so much! Proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of McAllen, which serves more than 6,000 children. “Great Futures Start Here” is our aim for all the children who come through our doors for after-school services, sports, and summer camp programs. The Boys & Girls Club of McAllen appreciates your service and looks forward to your continued support!
