What to Know
Held annually in Brownsville, the Cameron County Fair is a spring fair on the Rio Grande at the southernmost tip of Texas, celebrating the agricultural and ranching heritage of one of the most historically significant border counties in the state where the Mexican-American War began.

Brownsville is the southernmost city in Texas — the Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park (site of the first battle of the Mexican-American War), Resaca de la Palma State Park, and the South Padre Island ferry make Brownsville a distinctive Texas border destination.
