Winter Craft Fair at Southside Farmers’ Market

Featuring an abundance of wonderful handmade crafts, freshly grown produce, and musical entertainment for the whole family, the Winter Craft Fair at Southside Farmers’ Market is to be highly recommended. The event usually takes place in early December, so don’t forget to mark your calendar!
Sunday Bridgewalk
With all of the delicious food on offer during the holiday season, it can be easy to pack on a few extra pounds. For people who want to make sure that their turkey doesn’t add to their waistline, the Sunday Bridgewalk is a fantastic option. Beginning at Heritage Park, hundreds of people walk (or run) across Corpus Christi’s beautiful Harbor Bridge. There are four different BridgeWalk routes you can choose from — run the Harbor Bridge, walk the Harbor Bridge, run the Shoreline Route-BridgeWalk Without a Bridge, or walk the Shoreline Route-BridgeWalk Without a Bridge.
Illuminated Boat Parade
See Corpus Christi come alive during the Illuminated Boat Parade presented by the Port of Corpus Christi! Boaters from Corpus Christi and beyond will sail in style as they compete to have the most festive vessel in the Corpus Christi Marina on December 4th. If you’re a boat owner looking to participate, register here.
Drum Fishing
Though fishing may not be a traditional holiday activity, the waters around the Corpus Christi area offer some excellent angling opportunities during the month of December. In particular, large numbers of freshwater drum usually appear close to Indian Point Pier around this time. So what are you waiting for? Grab a rod, pack some lunch, and enjoy some of the finest fishing that Texas has to offer!
Yoga at the Texas Surf Museum
Each Sunday during the holiday season, the Texas Surf Museum hosts a free yoga class on its grounds.
