The McKinney Community Development Corporation meeting on June 26, 2025, highlighted the vibrant local culture and upcoming events that promise to engage the community. A key focus was the return of influencers to cover downtown McKinney, a strategy that previously resulted in a wealth of content and strengthened relationships with media personalities.

The meeting emphasized the excitement surrounding the local soccer team, the Chupacabras, which has been drawing large crowds, with nearly every home game selling out at Ramapo Stadium. Community members were encouraged to attend the remaining two games this summer to experience the lively atmosphere firsthand.

Additionally, the meeting announced the return of Drum Corps International to McKinney, with events scheduled for July. The drum line battle will take place at Tufts Brewery on July 20, followed by the main event at the MISD Stadium on July 21. Attendees were reminded to keep these dates on their calendars for a chance to enjoy these unique local experiences.

As the meeting concluded, the board welcomed questions, reinforcing their commitment to community engagement and transparency. The discussions underscored McKinney's dedication to fostering local culture and encouraging participation in community events.
