Helotes' grandest event, celebrating over 56 years, is the Cornyval parade. Harkening back to the early days when local Indians planted corn in the fertile Helotes valleys, the harvest marked a time of joy and feasting before their return to the hills.

Helotes and Cornyval pay homage to this heritage, commemorating the historic era's annual spring harvest with festivities that honor the rich agricultural legacy of the region.
