Hovering over the festival activities is "Willie-Man-Chew", the world's largest mosquito. Willie is a 26 ft. Texas mosquito, complete with a cowboy hat, boots, blown up wings and a big stinger. Willie is a favorite of all festival visitors, and he makes a great photo souvenir. Willie also does festival promotions throughout the year at other events.
The Executive Swat Team and the Clute Parks & Recreation Department are preparing for the best event ever, with the celebration of our 37th Annual Great Texas Mosquito Festival, to be held at the Clute Municipal Park, Clute, Texas.
