Travel the world without leaving South Texas! Bringing you more entertainment than ever!!! Music, dance, and community - with over 20 more bands than last year! Held on the Corpus Christi bay front, this culturally diverse event grabs the attention of 51% of Corpus Christi, over 258,000 people. This springtime event, April 23 - May 3, 2009, has something for everyone, including a Pro PRCA Rodeo; a Carnival, a BBQ Challenge; and the Buc Days Illuminated Night Parade, our largest event. Over 160,000 attendees line the streets each year awaiting the Buc Days Pirate Queens who have received the scholarship money to Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi.

This year's event theme is "Where In the World Is Jolly Roger?". Our friendly pirate mascot will invite Texans to visit the world without leaving Corpus Christi. Buc Days is taking on an International flavor in the form of incorporating music, food and cultural demonstrations. Visit the Taste of Europe and enjoy sampling beers from around the world, or visit the Latin Flavors & Sounds tent to enjoy music from south of the border. The Asian Gardens tent will include martial arts demonstrations as well as food sampling. Attendees will be greeted at our gates with a Passport directing them throughout the Buc Days festival so they won't miss out on any of the action!
