César Chávez March Cancelled; Islanders Face UTSA; Firefighters Continue ‘Fill the Boot’
Corpus Christi, TX – March 25, 2026 – César Chávez March is cancelled, Islanders battle UTSA, and firefighters continue MDA fundraising.
It’s a busy week across Corpus Christi, with changes to a long-standing community tradition, college baseball action on the road, and firefighters continuing a citywide fundraiser.
César Chávez March Cancelled
Organizers have officially cancelled the 25th annual César Chávez March and festivities that had been scheduled for Saturday, March 28, at Water’s Edge Park.
Local leaders said the decision follows guidance from the national foundation amid pending disclosures expected in a national publication next month. The event would have marked a milestone year for the Corpus Christi march, which traditionally honors Chávez’s legacy in labor and civil rights.
Community members who typically attend the march are encouraged to watch for updates from organizers regarding future plans.
Islanders Take on UTSA
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball is back in action this week, facing UTSA in a midweek matchup on Tuesday, March 24, in San Antonio.
The Islanders entered the stretch looking to build momentum after recent nonconference play. UTSA has been nationally ranked this season, making the matchup an important early test for the Islanders as they continue spring competition.
Fans can expect continued road and home action as the college baseball season moves deeper into March.
Firefighters Continue ‘Fill the Boot’ Campaign
Corpus Christi firefighters are continuing their annual ‘Fill the Boot’ campaign to support families affected by muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases.
Crews have been collecting donations at major intersections on select Fridays throughout March. The fundraiser supports research, care services, and local families in the Coastal Bend.
City leaders joined firefighters earlier this month to kick off the campaign, which consistently ranks among the stronger fundraising efforts nationwide.
