The Great Texas Mosquito Festival, Clute, TX
Every year, thousands of people gaze at Willie-Man-Chew, the 25-foot inflatable mosquito that has been the trademark of The Great Texas Mosquito Festival since 1981. The July event includes dancing and the Noah’s Ark Petting zoo where children can meet all sorts of animals. The festival is run by an executive “Swat Team” that plans the three-day event on the final weekend of July. There is also a lot of food, arts and craft vendors and contests to enjoy. Don’t miss the cornhole pitching and double washer pitching. There is also the famous BBQ Cook-off and Grill Master Competition.
