Embrace a weekend filled with music, art, and coastal spirit at La Izquierda Fest on Galveston Island!
La Izquierda Fest (Izzy Fest) is back, bringing together live music, surf, art, and community to the heart of Galveston Island. Set against the backdrop of the Gulf, the festival kicks off Friday afternoon and carries the vibe through Saturday night. From the soulful sway of live performances to the sun-soaked surf contest at 21st & Seawall, Izzy Fest is a tribute to what makes the Texas coast so special—its creativity, its energy, and its deep love for the water.
Galveston Attractions

Who doesn’t love a turtle? Now, you can get up close and personal with colorful Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle statues around the island. Turtles About Town is a public art project that showcases the conservation efforts of Turtle Island Restoration Network, a leading advocate for the world’s oceans and marine wildlife. Local businesses sponsored the turtles while local artists were commissioned to give each one its own personality and meaning.
