Edinburg, Texas — Many Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and other South Texans celebrate the holiday season with traditional events, but perhaps no other event captures the spirit of joyous anticipation than La Nochebuena, or La Noche Buena, which includes traditional foods, adornos or decorations, and sharing memories. You and your family can enjoy the blended border-spirit event, Fiesta de Noche Buena, at the Museum of South Texas History Dec. 9 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Returning this year is the popular posada (MarÃa and José’s search for an inn) through the museum exhibits. You can also enjoy a special holiday performance by Edinburg North High School Mariachi Oro and many others, holiday karaoke, free activities, an artisan market, and delicious traditional foods. And, to capture the memories of the event, be sure to take a picture in front of the 15-foot-tall Christmas tree or with Cowboy Santa! Bring the whole family to enjoy the festivities.
