Pharr, Texas – The Greater Pharr Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that BMW of Pharr has joined as the Presenting Sponsor for the highly anticipated 2025 Avocado Festival, contributing a generous $25,000 donation in support of this community tradition.

A special check presentation ceremony will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 10 AM at the Bert Ogden BMW dealership located at 6001 N. Cage Blvd., Pharr, TX 78577. Media, community members, and partners are invited to join this celebratory moment as BMW of Pharr demonstrates its commitment to community engagement and to supporting the success of the city in the produce industry. 

“We are deeply humbled and grateful to BMW of Pharr for stepping up as our Presenting Sponsor,” said Carlos Sanchez, President of the Greater Pharr Chamber of Commerce. “Their $25,000 donation is not only an investment in the Avocado Festival but also in the families, businesses, and traditions that make our Pharr community thrive.”

The 2025 Avocado Festival, set for Saturday, October 11, 2025, will once again transform Downtown Pharr into a vibrant celebration of food, music, art, and family fun. This year’s event is expected to draw thousands of visitors from across the Rio Grande Valley and beyond, spotlighting Pharr’s culture, hospitality, and community spirit. Headlining the live music entertainment is Easton Corbin, bringing his signature country hits to the festival stage. 

The Avocado Festival continues to grow each year with more than 20,000 attendees in 2024. The event was created to celebrate the importance of the produce industry and highlight the Pharr International Bridge, which has been recognized as the #1 produce bridge in the United States for over a decade. In fact, 70% of the avocados consumed nationwide cross through Pharr, making it the gateway for one of America’s most beloved fruits. The festival also kicks off the produce season and boosts local commerce and tourism, thanks to the support of partners like BMW of Pharr.
