Calendar - Marina Arts District in Corpus Christi, TX
Featured Events
Join us on the first Friday of every month for ArtWalk! Enjoy homemade art, music, and local food throughout the Marina Arts District in Downtown Corpus Christi. Peruse vendors and take in the live music at Artesian Park before touring the Marina Arts District businesses hosting more artists, vendors and musicians. With approximately 80 vendors, several Food Trucks and local live music and art around the Marina Arts District, there is something to be found for everyone. It’s a fun family event, even pet friendly!
Part of the Corpus Christi First weekend the BridgeWalk always takes place on the Sunday following ArtWalk and ArtWalk always takes place on the first Friday of every month. This means that the BridgeWalk is NOT always on the first Sunday of the month! Always check the website for time and date details or the Facebook event for the Marina Arts District Facebook page.
The walk, as posted, is 6020 yards or 3.42 miles. If you do not follow the signage then your route may vary from the measured event. Either way you should have fun and great photo opportunities. If you are really lucky the walk will coincide with a tanker entering or leaving port. There’s nothing quite like viewing one of these huge ships “close up” from the walkway of the bridge.
If walking the “High Bridge” is not for you there is an alternate walk which sets off at the same time but heads up to Shoreline , winds around the Peoples Street T-Head and returns to Heritage Park. This walk also qualifies towards the BridgeWalk T-shirt program – participate 5 times in one of our healthy activities and you qualify for a free, can’t be bought, T-Shirt. [for the avoidance of doubt this means turning out to 5 different events on 5 different months]
Arrive a few minutes early to sign a waiver and take a group picture!

¡Que Bueno! Taco Fest is an annual festival highlighting the taco and creative culture of our city. At its core, ¡Que Bueno! Taco Fest is a food festival focused on tacos plus Mexican art and culture. However, the festival has a greater purpose. ¡Que Bueno! Taco Fest was created to be a signature event for Corpus Christi and The Ritz Theatre. Proceeds from the event go to restore the historic Ritz and fund the Artist Nurturing Program, developed to support local artists encouraging them to stay in Corpus Christi and thrive here. The festival takes place downtown to elevate our downtown and bring more citizens into the heart of our city.
Live performance by Voodoo Logic!
