The City of La Feria is proud to offer NFL Flag Football to our local community as well as the surrounding communities for boys and girls ages 5-17. NFL Flag Football provides non-contact continuous action, while requiring minimal equipment. Players learn the skills of the sport and experience the fun of football!
In its eighth year, NFL Flag Football has become the fastest growing sport in La Feria. NFL Flag Football has also attracted players from the surrounding communities, as La Feria is one of a few cities to offer an NFL Flag Football program in the Rio Grande Valley. Participation has steadily increased with over 200 registered players per season. So get excited and play NFL Flag Football!
Registration for the 2010 season will kick off Saturday, July 24, 2010 and run every Saturday through August 7, 2010 at the Bailey H. Dunlap Memorial Public Library. Late registration will be held August 16 through the 18th at City Hall, 115 E. Commercial Avenue, La Feria.

The jobs of local hospitality workforce – and millions of dollars in local/state tax base – are supported by the vital economic activity generated by travel and tourism. Other entities in the Valley participated as well to make this a very successful event. See pictures.

On Tuesday, April 27, 2010, the City Commission of La Feria passed a Proclamation declaring May 8, 2010 as Arbor Day in La Feria. As part of proclaiming Arbor Day in La Feria, the City is offering an opportunity to residents of La Feria and surrounding areas to honor members of their families by planting trees at the La Feria Nature Center and Veterans Memorial Sports Complex on May 8.
