Abrazo Ceremony – Washington’s Birthday Celebration
Each year, the International Bridge in Laredo becomes the stage for a timeless tradition of friendship and unity. During the Washington’s Birthday Celebration, Rey Feo proudly participates in the Abrazo Ceremony, where leaders and dignitaries from the United States and Mexico meet at the center of the bridge to exchange an embrace—symbolizing goodwill, respect, and the strong cultural ties that bind our two nations.
This historic event highlights the spirit of binational collaboration and honors the deep roots shared between Laredo and its sister city across the border. With Rey Feo representing San Antonio’s proud Fiesta tradition, the Abrazo serves as a reminder that borders do not divide culture, community, and celebration.
