EDINBURG, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Mexican Regional Band Grupo Frontera announced they will be performing at the Bert Ogden Arena tomorrow as a surprise gift to the Rio Grande Valley.
"Honored to share this holiday season with you, Razita. See you tomorrow!" the group posted on social media just after 2 p.m. Thursday.
The Holiday Block Party will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg.
There will be free food, free activities and free prizes at the event. As well as a special performance by Juan Moya y Los Del Valle.
The band, originally from Edinburg, recently spoke to ValleyCentral's Daisy Martinez to discuss how they still keep the “956” near and dear to them.
On Monday, Rio Grande City posted about how the regional Mexican group donated boxes full of toys to the children of the 956.
Last year the band performed for their razita at the South Pole Illuminated Festival.
A recording of that public performance can be seen here.
