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.
Experience what is perhaps the most curious, peculiar, yet extraordinarily fantastic festive moment ever imagined, Día de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead Street Festival, celebrating the lives we knew and miss and yet joyfully inviting all to pay respects to those who passed on and celebrate the life that makes and solidifies our cherished memories. You’ll find Día de Los Muertos themed artworks, Wall and Altars of Remembrance, craft items, jewelry, fun children’s activities, challenging games, and plenty of food as the festival takes over several blocks of Downtown. This rich Mexican tradition has multiple stages of live entertainment, traditional Mexican cultural performances, and local bands.
Check out Concrete Street Amphitheater for an amazing outdoor concert experience in Corpus Christi. It's hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Nine Inch Nails, Willie Nelson, 311, Rob Zombie, Miranda Lambert, Snoop Dogg, and many more. The main stage is located at the back of the park and is open-air, so you can enjoy the show under the stars. It's huge, with space for up to 10,000 fans, so you can be sure it will be an unforgettable experience. If you prefer a more intimate setting, check out the Pavilion stage, which holds up to 3,000 people and is covered in case of rain. And don't worry about getting hungry or thirsty, there are plenty of concession stands where you can grab a bite to eat or something to drink. They've got everything from pizza and nachos to hot wings and juicy burgers. And of course, they've also got a great selection of cold beers and margaritas.
