Buc Days

The first Annual Buc Days opened up in 1938. It consisted of five different bands, 15 floats a pageant and ball. 

Buc Days now celebrates its 77th year of an on going tradition. Buc Days was formed to mark the beginning of the Summer Season. The Bucanner Commision's created Buc Days to add glamour and excitement to the event by building it around the city's history. 

Buc days is an anuual event that many families attend for the rides, parade and mostly bonding with family. For the time that I lived in Corpus Christi I have only attended Buc Days once, yes I know its sad. So I decided to to talk to my moms friend Anna Villarreal and ask her about her experience on Buc Days. Anna remembers the times when her family would camp out waiting for the parade. They would cook food, play on the rides and most of all eat tons of funnel cakes. Her family enjoyed Buc Days, it was the one time out of the year that her family  would just relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Buc Days. She is a big Buc Days fan because she loves how this event brings families closer and how our history of Corpus is incorporated.
