CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — The Buc Days parade is right around the corner, and after a 14-year break, one of South Texas' biggest traditions is back and bigger than ever!
This cherished tradition brings spectators back to its roots, so make plans to head out to the Buccaneer Stadium on May 4 for the Stadium Show presented by Reliant and the Rally Night Parade.
As construction wraps up on Leopard Road, the parade will go through Buc Stadium for the first time since 2010.
"We're really excited to have that opportunity back for folks to enjoy. That partnership was made possible through a couple of groups. American Bank Center has a covering that we're able to use to cover the track, so we'll drive straight through the stadium and have the broadcast live from the stadium as well," said Johnny Philipello, President/ CEO of Buc Days Commission.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m., and the festivities begin with the recognition and presentation of scholarships to the Buc Days Port of Corpus Christi Leadership Scholars at 7 p.m., followed by the Rally Night Parade at 8 p.m.
Tickets for general admission are $10. Children under 3 years of age are not required to have their own ticket but must be sitting on their parent or guardian's lap at all times. Reserved seating is $15. Every individual (adult and children) will be required to have their own ticket. To purchase your tickets, click here.
No outside food and drinks are allowed, and alcohol is not permitted. Buc Stadium concessions will be open for service during the Stadium Show. More info at BucDays.com
"We do anticipate large crowds, as always, for the Buc Days celebrations, so the city does have a traffic improvement plan in place. We do expect a lot of vehicular and pedestrian activity, so we do remind drivers to be careful," said City Manager Peter Zanoni.
There will be park-and-ride shuttle services available from the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA).
