Every day in Rockport, Texas seems like a holiday. There are fantastic art galleries, shops, and world class dining. Good golf, great fishing, and hunting. Local hangouts provide a great meeting place to overlook the water and listen to live music while The Texas Maritime Museum, aquarium and Texas’ first blue water beach provide great insight and hours of enjoyment to this Texas coastal treasure.

The fourth of July brings the Rockport Art Festival, Patriotic Boat Parade and of course fireworks over the water! In late July is the “Rock” the Rockport Offshore Challenge Fishing Tournament. For this event, boats come from far and near to compete in deep water trophy fish! On Labor Day celebrate Hispanic heritage with fun, food, games and music at the Fiesta in la Playa. In late September join in on the Hummer/Bird celebration. Bird watchers from all over flock to Rockport, a hotspot on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail to hundreds of rare and migrating species passing through South Texas. Rounding off the events in October is Seafair. Local vendors, artisans, crafts, music, and carnivals come together to celebrate the harvest of the Sea.
