Welcome to Harlingen!
Just north of Mexico near the southern tip of Texas and minutes from South Padre Island, the Harlingen area is a laid-back blend of South Texas charm and the rich cultural traditions of Mexico.
Designated a Certified Retirement Community by the state of Texas, Harlingen boasts a low cost of living, year-round sports and is the health care heart of the Valley. Thousands of birders flock to Harlingen for year-round birding and the internationally known Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival.
The Harlingen Area Chamber of Commerce is focused on workforce development, youth and education, small business development, as well as critical transportation and legislative issues that affect our community. We proudly promote Harlingen as a regional leader and a superior place in which to live, work, visit and invest.
