Mission schedules Texas Citrus Fiesta events in late January; parade set for Jan. 25
Summary
City of Mission and the Texas Citrus Fiesta announced a week of events including a custom style show on Jan. 21, a bridal coronation in late January (date in the recording was unclear), and the 93rd annual Parade of Oranges on Jan. 25, followed by a free fun fair and an evening Royal Ball.
The city of Mission and organizers of the Texas Citrus Fiesta announced a series of events across late January, highlighted by the 93rd annual Parade of Oranges on Saturday, Jan. 25, at noon along Conway Avenue.
The announcement said Fiesta week opens with a custom “product custom style” show at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, at the Mission Event Center; participants may register to create citrus-inspired designs. "The Texas Citrus Fiesta has something for everyone," an event announcer with the Texas Citrus Fiesta said in the recorded announcement.
Organizers listed registration details: applications are available at the Texas Citrus Fiesta office at 220 E. Ninth St., and the announcement provided a contact phone number, 956-585-9724. After the parade the announcement described a free fun fair at the Seed Building on Bridal Road from 2 to 8 p.m., with music, a petting zoo, vendors and family activities.
The announcement also said a bridal coronation would take place on a Thursday in late January at 7 p.m. at the Mission Event Center, and that a Royal Ball that evening would include a queen’s crowning. The recorded wording for the coronation date and the queen’s names/ordinal numbers was garbled (the recording variously referenced “January 20 3rd,” “Queen Centrada the 88th,” and an apparent reference to a 89th queen). The announcement did not provide a clear, single coronation date or a consistent name for the entrant; the recording advised listeners to call the TCF office for tickets and confirmation.
Tickets were described as available for the coronation and Royal Ball; the announcement advised following the City of Mission’s social media channels for updates. No permit, funding or city action related to the events was described in the recording.
For registration and ticket questions the announcement gave the Texas Citrus Fiesta office address at 220 E. Ninth St. and phone number 956-585-9724.
