Fronter Fest is back at Frontera Audubon. The event will be celebrated Saturday evening, November 6, on the back lawn of the Skaggs House, starting at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $25 per person and are available at the Frontera Visitors’ Center, Valley Trophies, and the Boocha Bar and Taproom. For more information, or tickets, call (956) 968-3275. Stay tuned to their Facebook page for details.

 

Weekly events

If you can’t make it to Frontera Fest, you can still come by to enjoy the park during some of their weekly events.

Join experienced naturalist Angelina Vasquez for a walk through the thicket. She will focus on birds, but if something else cool catches your eye, that will be checked out too. Half of the species found in the entire United States have been spotted in the Valley. Rarities in recent years have included the Blue Bunting, Crimson-collared Grosbeak, and others.

The walks are held every Wednesday at 9 a.m. Entrance free is free for members, $5 for non-members.

On Thursdays, visitors can join Brittany for Yoga on the lawn. Conclude your day with a gentle and relaxing vinyasa flow while surrounded by beautiful scenery. Let the natural serenity surrounding you guide you into a blissful state as Brittany Castro leads a beginner’s series applicable for all levels. This is an open, understanding environment that warmly welcomes one and all and together can strive for peace and progress.

The classes are held Thursdays at 6 p.m. for a cost of $8. Class will be moved indoors in rainy or cold weather.
