Summer Games [ edit ]
The Summer Games of Texas are held every year across multiple venues in a pre-designated city or region. The event is usually held in late July and draws more than 10,000 athletes and 15,000–20,000 spectators each year.[4] [5] It is the largest multi-sport event in Texas.[6] Each year at the games, TAAF organizes the opening ceremonies, which typically include a parade of athletes and fireworks.[7] In 2010 and 2011, the event was hosted by Waco, Texas . In 2012 and 2013, it will be hosted by Corpus Christi, Texas .[8] [9]
