March has arrived, and with it comes the bustling energy of spring break on our beautiful island. Tens of thousands of visitors will soon flock to Galveston to enjoy the sun-soaked beaches, exciting attractions, historic landmarks, delicious seafood, and the many water activities. Our historic downtown area, with its charming shops and delightful dining spots, will also be abuzz with activity. This month, Galveston is host to an array of exciting events. For the first time, the Zoppé Family Circus is coming to the island to Stewart Beach from March 7-31, delighting audiences with breathtaking acrobatics, elegant equestrian stunts, delightful canine performers, and engaging clowning.
