The Island's 35th Birthday Celebration kicked off yesterday and promises to be a great event that will evolve into an annual Pirate Days
From the Island Breeze:
The party continues throughout the weekend and the following schedule of events was provided by Melissa Zamora, Communications Director for the South Padre Island CVBSouth Padre Island’s anniversary party got underway Thursday evening at City Hall with a huge fanfare and many salutes from dignitaries and old-timers who remembered when the town was incorporated in 1973.
Senator Eddie Lucio read a proclamation from the Texas Senate commending South Padre Island for its “many contributions to our state.”
After the ceremony Lucio was enthusiastic about how far the town had come and what he believed the future holds for it. “It’s a wonderful celebration,” he said. “It culminates 35 years with leadership that has been able to get the job done.”
