Immerse yourself in the best of the Gulf Coast at the 15th Annual Galveston Shrimp Festival By 365thingsinhouston
Take in the great fall weather while noshing on fresh shrimp, grooving to live music, shopping, people watching and more during the Galveston Island Shrimp Festival weekend on Friday, September 27 & Saturday, September 28, 2024.
Yaga’s Entertainment kicks off the island’s fall festival season with the 15th edition of the Galveston Island Shrimp Festival weekend.
Featuring some of the best shrimp gumbo the Gulf Coast has to offer, the festival features a seafood cook-off, gumbo tasting, L’il Shrimps Parade, live music, a children’s area and a Strand merchant walkabout, the Ron Hoover Boat Show, and more.
The main event is Saturday’s Shrimp Gumbo Cook-Off and Gumbo Stroll on the island’s Historic Strand, but there’s also an official Friday Kick-Off Party in Saengerfest Park the night before, and a Shrimp Scamper 5K Fun Run along the Seawall on the morning of the event.
