D'Angela's Jewelers

Leave South Texas behind and enter the Irish land of Cassidy’s Irish Pub, where the dimly lit atmosphere, dark wooden walls, and brass wall hangings give the feel of 100% Irish authenticity. Cassidy's provides a good selection of spirits and beer with Guinness on draft, so ask the bartender to pull one out of the tap with a white, foamy top. While you're relishing your delicious drink, relax and enjoy the local and regional live music offered every week.

If you're looking for a classic Americana experience, a visit to a small town's Rialto Theater is a must-do. The name itself, meaning the theater district, is steeped in history and tradition. And if you're in the Texas Coastal Bend, you're in luck, Aransas Pass has its very own Rialto, right in the heart of downtown. It's one of the few remaining Rialtos in the country, and it's just a short drive from downtown Corpus Christi. The Rialto Theater in Aransas Pass is a hub for visual arts, music, and live theater performances. The original building has been renovated and reborn, offering a year-round event schedule packed with traditional and eclectic performances. You can catch a show in the 100-seat theater auditorium, grab a drink at the 40-seat beer/wine bar, or check out the art exhibits in the gallery and lobby.

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, you might want to check out King Ranch, one of the biggest ranches in the world, with a whopping 825,000 acres of land. You'll get a fascinating inside look at how cattle handling works on such a massive property and explore some historically significant buildings to learn about the King family, who built this impressive empire. Amazingly, Dallas was modeled after this very same ranch back in the 80s. Even though you won't bump into JR himself, taking the tour is still an incredible way to spend your time, especially if you're interested in ranching or want to experience something truly unique.

Take a trip to the Rockport-Fulton Seafair, a 3-day sea-themed festival, where you and your entire family can have fun and indulge in all your favorite seafood. Enjoy the festival's live entertainment, the Gumbo Cook-Off, Seafood Cooking Classes, Vendors, the Carnival, Cardboard Boat Races, a Parade, and more.
