This is a great opportunity to get to know the character of Rockport. It's an artistic, eclectic community, and the festival shows this off! There's all kinds of great art booths selling cool paintings, clothing, signs and other great works of art. All the greatest local businesses come out and show off their wares! There is also a gumbo competition! Rockport is known for its seafood- the gumbo here is heavenly. You can go to the competition, and get cups for a few bucks each and try them all. The live music is always on key- with different acts each night. It focuses on country music. There's also a midway, where you can ride the rides! Loopty-loops and Gravitrons abound! Yeehaw! There's plenty of restrooms and lots of beer available (all of it is in 16oz containers!) Be sure to check out this festival and see the best of Rockport!

Held in the small town of Hallettsville, TX, the Kolache Fest is a cool and tasty way to have a…read more fun day. There's lots to see and hear as well as many delicious things to eat! The Kolache Fest is held at the Knight of Columbus Hall in Hallettsville., TX. It consists of games, arts and crafts booths, a classic car show, live polka music, dancing, a BBQ judging, food demos, a Biergarten and of course kolaches. The kolaches are provided by Kountry Bakery. As we drove past the restaurant itself we noticed how packed it was. After trying their kolaches at the festival, we can understand why it was so crowded. The kolaches are great. We wanted to try them all. Kolaches are sold at the festival by the half dozens and available in fruit varieties, cream cheese and as they call them, "pig" (sausage) with and without cheese and jalapeño. The events themselves are held at various times and offer something for everyone. Besides the above listed events there are many more - too many to list! We especially liked the food demos and the crocodile show as well as the classic cars. The live polka music and bands were talented and put on a lively, toe tapping show. Food items for sale are homemade by some very good bakers and benefit some well deserving organizations. Homemade sweets make any event that much better. There is lots of seating in a covered pavilion with huge ceiling fans that give relief from some of the heat. Hallettsville is a small town and this event has a big turnout so arriving early is the best way to ensure good parking although the lot is large. A trivia bit we learned is that it is the only town in the world with the name Hallettsville. It has the friendly, welcoming, small town type warmth that isn't always found within they city. If you like good food and friendly festivities the Kolache Fest is something you'll enjoy.

Clearly the event was not about "art" but more about "money". The traffic was horrendous. It took us two hours to travel from marker 8 to marker 15 (about the length of the event). The Port A police allowed a third lane which slowed things down even more as only two lanes were allowed out at the beach exit. The event needs more beach exits. It may be beyond the ability of the City of Port Aransas to manage this event and it should be moved.

A music festival dedicated to Selena Quintanilla, one of the greatest Tejano/a singers of all time,…read moreFiesta de la Flor is all Selena related. If you're a Selena fan, then why haven't you checked this place out yet? We decided to check out this festival back in 2018. My significant other is a die hard Selena fan. She worships her! Really! So I decided to surprise her with tickets to the festival. It was very reasonable in price. Each ticket was $50. It was a 2 day event with live performances from local artists and a few members from Selena's group. The festival ended with a performance fro Becky G. It was pretty windy when we were there both days. It is right next to Corpus Christi Bay. They had plenty of lunch trucks and open bars to enjoy. One of the highlights was the Selena was statue they had unveiled there. It was very full of people both days. At the end of the festival, they had a beautiful fireworks display. During the intermission sets, they had Selena music videos playing in the background. There was plenty of parking lots in the area. We had decided to Uber there, as I'm not much of a fan of driving while I'm on vacation. It is beyond amazing that the Quintanilla family and her husband, Chris Perez, keep the spirit and soul of Selena alive through the festival. It is beyond amazing that the fans come from all across the country to celebrate the life and legacy of such a beautiful singer who was robbed of her life much too soon. I have heard that there were plans to discontinue the festival. That saddens me to hear, as her legacy will alway live on. If that becomes the case, sadly, I can at least say we got to enjoy and experience this amazing festival. It was way beyond what I expected. If it does return, I'd definitely come back. Hey, Anything for Selenas!!!!!

#230-2016: It was…read moreonly 21 years ago that Selena was robbed of her chance to change the musical world once more by means of her crossover album, when her life was tragically ended. All these years have passed and her fans have kept her music and the celebration of her life alive, specially the day of her death by celebrating the greatness of her life. Then, last year magic happened and finally CORPUS CHRISTI (along with many sponsors) finally decided to officially commemorate and honor their most precious flower of all. A week end filled with Selena's music and memories as well as Tejano music performers who have gathered together to still pay their homage and rejoice of the love and amazing music Selena has brought us all in her short life. Suzette may have chosen to never perform as a percussionist without her sister but she has made a few exceptions and has never given up on the family will to keep her legacy alive. Chris has gone on to become a great artist (the Chris Perez Project is but the last of many achievements) but has been, still is and always will be honoring his late wife and the love of his life. Selena's fans storm the quiet shores of Corpus Christi every March 31st and now have even more reasons to come, the Fiesta De la Flor lasts two extremely busy days, is amazingly organized and allows Selena's message of love and humbleness to live on. So, my thanks go to Suzette, the Quintanilla family, Chris and the city of Corpus. To this year's Fiesta De la Flor and to many more!
