Ditch the Snow Boots for Flipflops
Texas Snowbirds
Texas Snowbirds find Galveston Island to be a favorite
destination, our friendly term for visitors from the colder regions who spend
their winters in Galveston, TX. There is so much to do and see, a month just
isn’t long enough.
December Events
There are numerous attractions that occur all through the
month of December for the Texas Snowbirds. Dickens on the Strand transforms the Galveston Strand into Victorian England inspired by
the Charles Dickens era, hence the name. This holiday festival takes visitors
back to the Victorian Era as street vendors with push carts work amongst
carolers and street musicians, while children busy themselves at the Royal
Menagerie Petting Zoo. You may also take interest in the Victorian Christmas
Homes Tour, where you can relax, sip on a warm cup of hot chocolate, cozy up in
a horse-drawn carriage, and entice yourself in the beauty of how historical
homes decorate to celebrate the holidays. If that isn’t enough, Moody Gardens Festival of Lights is one of the largest festivals of
lights in Texas along with an outdoor ice-skating rink that people of all ages
can enjoy!

Restaurant Week. The islands best restaurants offer lunch and dinner specials
