WBCALaredo

The first celebration was a phenomenal success. Its success and popularity grew rapidly and in 1923 the Washington's Birthday Celebration Association of Laredo, Inc. (WBCATM) received its state charter. Together with its Affiliate Organizations, the WBCATM now boasts a celebration calendar, which includes more than twenty-eight events and covers a period of four weeks. It attracts approximately 400,000 attendees annually and has a tremendous positive economic impact on the City.
