Galveston Island Market Music

Live music is part of what makes market day feel like market day. Every market we book local performers to play for a crowd that's already there to browse, eat and stay a while — a genuinely good room for building an island following.

There are three of them to choose from, and they don't sound alike. Broadway is a daytime family crowd under the trees at Texas Heroes Monument Park. After Dark on the Strand is an evening set at Hendley Green and Saengerfest Park. Seaside puts you on Seawall Blvd. with the Gulf behind you.

Applying takes a couple of minutes. Send us who you are, what you play and a link to hear you, and we'll get in touch about upcoming dates.
