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.
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.
