The Special Events Committee is a committee of the Convention and Visitors Authority Board of Directors. The committee’s mission is to review current and prospective special events for South Padre Island, giving special emphasis to events that produce lodging night business for South Padre Island and promote tourism. Other items to consider for supporting special events include image compatibility, potential media coverage, measurability, continuity, time of year, opportunities for growth of events and any potential need for additional Town services related to an event. The eleven member committee is appointed by the CVA Board of Directors, with all of their recommendations going to the CVA Board for final action.
