23rd Annual World's Championship Shrimp Cook-Off

The annual festival is a favorite among area residents and visitors and tests the skills of amateur and professional chefs from throughout the Rio Grande Valley. Contestants are judged on appearance, aroma, and taste of their specialty dishes. Samples are available to attendees at a modest fee. In addition to great food and a variety of vendors, the festival also offers live music by “The Agency” and activities for kids of all ages. Original artwork, gifts and collectibles can all be found in one location.
