One year later, the community came together for the very first Charro Days to celebrate what made Brownsville unique: Its location on the border with Mexico and the rich cultural heritage enjoyed by Brownsville’s residents. PLATINUM City of Brownsville Brownsville Public Utilities Board Fred Loya Insurance 20th Century Rides GOLD Tipton Ford BRONZE Frost Bank IBC Bank BBVA Compass Bank La Michoacana Meat Market Mercy Kids Rehab Pronto Insurance Security First Credit Union IDEA Frontier College Prep Valley Baptist Medical Center Valley Dental Born to lift community spirits during difficult times, Charro Days Fiesta 2012 celebrates its 75th anniversary with the same dedication to bi-national friendship and respect for traditions that first captivated Brownsville long ago.
