weekend activities in the rgv
one of my favorite #weekendactivities in McAllen and surrounding cities in the RGV is visiting vendor markets! every weekend you can find several different markets around town filled with small businesses to support!
i love finding new small businesses to support and visiting our favorites! we love to find a sweet treat every time we go to eat while we browse. we’ve found gems like boutique baby clothes, home bakery treats, permanent jewelry, books, vintage t-shirts, handmade cups and bows, and more! they’re all pet and family friendly. we bring our two kids and we see lots of people with their dogs!
you can find these all over the rgv but some popular weekend market spots in hidalgo county are:
