The event has now expanded to two days called the Galveston Sandcastle Festival, a celebration filled with sandcastles designed and built by architects, live music from local and regional bands, local vendors, and family-friendly activities. AIA Houston has partnered with La Izquierda Fest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the communities of Galveston and the Gulf Coast through surf, the arts, and fostering local culture to bring this expanded experience to life.
Visitors can immerse themselves in local sounds and flavors while exploring a huge vendor market featuring makers, gifts, artists, crafts, and more. Beer lovers will appreciate offerings from the legendary Galveston Island Brewing.

Did you know? Every six minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without calling 811. It's free, it's the law, and it keeps your community safe.
The main goal for 811 sponsoring this event is public awareness/media outreach - to inform the public about keeping their community safe and to call/click 811 before you dig to prevent damage, injury, etc. It's free, easy and the law yet so many people do not know to call.
