A Swell Time on the Texas Shore | June 2026

The sun is shining, the parasols are twirling, and Galveston is set to be the ritziest spot on the coast for a weekend of old-fashioned fun.

The Galveston Island Revue Weekend is the bees’ knees, a real humdinger of an event bringing back the glitz, the glamour, and the good times of a bygone era. Dust off your glad rags, grab your best guy or gal, and get ready to cut a rug, it’s going to be a doozy.

Inspired by the golden days of seaside amusement, when flappers and gents packed their trunks for a season on the shore, this weekend is chock-full of vintage charm. With live music, classic cars, retro vendors, and the world-famous Bathing Beauties Contest, Galveston is rolling out the red carpet for a summertime spectacle straight from the heyday of boardwalk revelry.
