Conference Location
Galveston is a top
attraction for shoppers, Houston day-trippers, and vacationers from around
the globe. And it’s no wonder—Galveston has 32 miles of beaches, top
restaurants, hotels & resorts, and attractions like Moody Gardens and the
National Historic Strand District. In addition, the island has deep cultural
and historical roots shown in its museums, opera house, historic homes, old
victorian architecture, and more.
The Strand District, in downtown Galveston, has transformed itself into the
“Social and Shopping Center of the Island.” For shoppers, this 36-block
historic district holds everything one could desire: clothing, factory
outlets, souvenirs, art galleries, antique galleries, and excellent
restaurants.
The Strand’s daily attractions include: The Galveston County Museum, the
Railroad Museum, Victorian architecture from the 1800s, horse & carriage
rides through town, historical markers, excellent shopping, an old fashioned
trolley for transportation, and even a giant chess set in Saengerfest Park.
On the outer edges of The Strand is the Post Office district, known for its
antique and art galleries, and Pier 21 with daily showings of a movie of The
Great Storm of 1900, excellent restaurants, the Off-Shore Drilling Rig and
Museum, and the Texas Seaport Museum with tall ship Elissa. Finally, The
Strand also hosts a variety of yearly events like the wildly popular Mardi
Gras celebration, and the Dickens on The Strand festival, celebrating
Galveston’s Victorian heritage.
