Featuring tasty shrimp gumbo from the island, this year's festival includes a Boat & RV Show, a two-day Cook-Off, vendors, exhibits, music, a Texas Size Shrimp Dinner, a 5K Fun Run, Lil' Shrimps Parade and awards ceremony.
In the professional category, Bernardo's Restaurant at Hotel Galvez will be defending their two-time title as the Best Gumbo in Galveston. Adding to the excitement that weekend, the USS Fort Worth littoral combat ship (LCS-3) will sail into the Port of Galveston with commanders, crew and dignitaries. The Port of Galveston will also welcome the Disney Magic Cruise Ship for their first sail out of Texas.
