International Bridge Ceremony Sponsored by La Posada Hotel

It starts with a symbolic international bridge hug between nations featuring the four Abrazo Children (two from Nuevo Laredo and two from Laredo) and Mexican and U.S dignitaries. The goodwill is palpable in this powerful ceremony that ideally embraces the friendship, appreciation, and mutual respect shared by two nations that is the morning’s catalyst for the Anheuser-Busch Washington’s Birthday Parade that promptly follows.
