This rich celebration of music and tropical flavor puts the island a cultural step above its Spring Break entertainment roots; and promises to be the Island's newest annual tradition.

"Thousands of birds and music fans flying South to bask in warm Gulf breezes amidst some of the world's best music: It all happens on South Padre this November," says Tim Hayden, executive producer of the festival. "This will certainly be an indelible memory and enlightening experience for all who attend."

With daily temperatures in the mid- to low 80s and stunning November scenery and activities -- from fishing to water sports, birding to beach combing, miniature golf to movies -- South Padre also boasts gourmet dining, boutique shopping and variety of nightlife options.
