Saengerfest Park — Attraction in Galveston

Be careful ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 🅿️ 💰

Saengerfest Park is a charming little spot in the heart of Galveston, perfect for snapping some photos, enjoying local art, or just taking a short break while exploring the Strand District.

Still found a nice place to watch the show and had a great time at...

We we visiting Galveston I wanted to leave on Friday because the Hotel prices were going up for the weekend. My partner asked why and we were told about the Dickens Festival, so we stayed over the weekend and what fun. The park was all lit up with holiday decorations and there was a huge Christmas tree all lit up with colorful light. I saw a wall painting behind a stage that say Welcome to Galveston. It's really easy to stand in front of it and have ones pictures taken. Lots of places close by to get...
