The Texas Onion Fest celebrates the development of the world famous Texas 1015 Onion which was developed in Weslaco, Texas, by Dr. Leonard Pike at the Texas A&M University Extension Service. The name of the 1015 onion came from the suggested planting date, October 15.  The festival brings the community together for a fun-filled day of onion eating contests, cooking demonstrations, recipe contests, entertainment and much more. The Texas Onion Fest is a coordinated effort of the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce. GO TEXAN companies interested in vendor information, visit www.weslaco.com/Onionfest or call (956) 968-2102.

You need not be officially certified organic, but should be natural and organic ingredients. Many attendees attend specifically seeking products to help them with their special dietary and chemical sensitivities. GO TEXAN members will receive an exclusive discount - a 10' x 10' booth for only $495 for the three day events (booth sizes and additional corner fees vary by market). Show Technology looks to specifically promote handmade decor items, home furnishings, craft items, gourmet treats, restaurants and tourism.
