Editor's Note

Hey Valley fam — summer energy is officially kicking in across the 956. ☀️

This weekend’s lineup feels like peak RGV: outdoor movies, local markets, live music, vendor pop-ups, and enough iced drinks to survive the heat index. We’re especially hyped to see Harlingen investing big into healthier spaces for families with its upcoming indoor recreation center — because let’s be honest, South Texas weather sometimes feels like walking into an air fryer by 11 AM. 😅

Whether you’re market hopping in Mission, treasure hunting in Edinburg, or checking out Harlingen’s brand-new Monthly Market Days, this weekend’s packed with reasons to get out and enjoy the community around you.

Hydrate, support local, and maybe adopt a dog named Petunia while you’re at it. 🌺
