Description of Event:
Event will be held on February 20-21, 2015. Now in its 37th year, the Jalapeno Festival pays tribute to that most beloved of Laredo delicacies, the potently spicy little jalapeno pepper. The Festival also features the Stripes Miss Jalapeno contest, where women vie for the right to preside over this year's festivities. Other fun contests will thrill audiences, including the Budweiser waiter's race, the grito contest and the immensely popular tug-of-war. But, it's the grand-daddy of them all, the La Costena Jalapeno Eating Contest that holds court. Die-hard contestants travel from as far away as the Big Apple to test their gastronomic endurance to determine who can down the most jalapenos in what may seem like an eternity -15 minutes. The record number of jalape"os eaten, set 21 years ago, stands at 141. Sizzling fajitas, menudo, pozole, hamburgers, cotton candy, gorditas, flautas and those ever-popular funnel cakes along with an ice cold beer create the perfect combination for the hottest nights in February.Information:
