Description
From its simple beginnings in 1938, Buc Days has grown into the premier festival event in Corpus Christi. In addition to the carnival, and the spectacular Illuminated Night Parade, the festivities now include a PRCA Rodeo, BBQ Challenge, a Competencia Folklorica, a Jr. Parade, a Stadium Show, Fireworks and various sporting and athletic events. With over 350,000 attendees each year, Buc Days is a tradition that has grown and flourished within our community. And, it is all for a great cause. The monies raised during Buc Days benefit the Buccaneer Commission Scholarship Fund providing scholarships for our local area youth.
