Galveston Island Market is where local artisans, bakers, growers and small businesses set up shop — and where more than 20 of them have grown into brick-and-mortar stores of their own.
Galveston Island Market runs three separate markets across the month, each with its own place, hours and character. All three are free to attend and family and pet friendly.

Sunday, 12 PM–5 PM
2504 Broadway St. — Texas Heroes Monument Park, next door to the Moody Mansion.
Third Saturday, 3 PM–9 PM
Hendley Green & Saengerfest Park — downtown on the Strand, with live music and later trading.
Fourth Saturday & Sunday
1128 Seawall Blvd. — the newest market in the family, right on the Gulf.
