Fall is the perfect time to explore Galveston! The weather is cooler and the stores, restaurants and beaches are a little less crowded.
In addition, we host a lot of fall celebrations on Galveston Island. You can take part in Galveston Sandcastle Festival, buy unique local art at ARToberFEST, or even have some spooky surprises. The cruise ships are running, the beach is calling, and the history will never disappoint.
If weather conditions change, we’ll post it here. Until then, come down and enjoy what we call Local Summer!
