Check out one of the biggest festivals that Corpus Christi has to offer, the annual Buc Days Celebration, where you can enjoy the Stripes Carnival, the Shops at Treasure Island, Buckin’ Marlin Stage, BBQ On The Bay, Robotics Rodeo, and the Wings Over South Texas. Celebrate the people and communities that make the city shine. During the Rally Night Parade at Buc Days, you’ll see marching bands, spirited dancing, dazzling floats, and the Official Wrecker Service, Apollo Towing, clear the route for all the fun. There’s something for buccaneers of every age right here in the heart of the city by the sea.
Watch the winds take the sails at the weekly Corpus Christi Marina's Sailboat Races. Spectators who show up early can volunteer to join a crew for those captains who are willing. Or you can always sit and watch the races while cheering on your favorite team.
An architectural gem on the city's bayfront, The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations, and showcases works from local and area artists in rotating exhibitions. The 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios, including a clay studio that encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. The Art Center also offers art classes, to express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.
