This page contains information and links for special events in this area of Texas. It
will also include other areas of Texas as well, but only events in TEXAS.
We have alligator festivals, rice and pecan festivals, heritage festivals, Mardi Gras
celebrations, Christmas events and so much more. There's duck hunting and plenty of
fishing, sailing and beaches to include Galveston beaches, Crystal Beach and others
along the Gulf Coast. We have Moody Gardens in Galveston and of course many cultural
museums and events in the Houston, Texas area. Jefferson County Texas being on the
Southeastern end of Texas makes us near events within the western Louisiana area too.
Ahhhhh gumbo feasts and cookoffs as well as crawfish festivals abound down here. We are
the home of many music legends such as George Strait, Tracy Byrd, Tex Ritter. Janis Joplin
graduated from my high school the same year as my brother. Football coach Jimmy Johnson
also graduated from my high school. The famous attorney Walter Umphrey graduated from my
high school and is married to one of my classmates. So come on down and stay a spell.
You will find something for yourself, every member of your family and your circle of
friends too.

Port Arthur will be celebrated the end of January 2008. There are Christmas celebrations

For the city of Port Neches, click here for their calendar of events. My husband and
I reside in Port Neches, Texas and many evenings go to the Neches River to eat our take
out food and watch the sunset and the moonrise and of course tugboats go down the river.
My grandfather piloted a tugboat in his latter years so watching the tugs go down the
Neches River is a fun thing for me to do. Some day we will go fishing too. Even though my
husband and I are considered Senior Citizens, watching the sunset and the moonrise is
still romantic!
