Show off your Culinary Skills at Texas Onion Fest

If you enjoy cooking with onions, create an original onion dish of your own and enter your recipe in the annual Onion Recipe Contest at Weslaco’s Texas Onion Fest.

The contest will be held Thursday, April 2, at Weslaco City Park and gives people of all ages the chance to show off their culinary skills and promote the use of onions in today’s hometown kitchens. Participants are required to use a ½ cup of onions in their recipe.

Returning to the festival and adding a local flare to the event is the Salsa Recipe Contest which requires participants to include a ½ cup of jalapenos. Find out if your homemade salsa is an award winning recipe! The contest honors the Mild Jalapeno developed in Weslaco by Dr. Ben Villalon.
