There will also be plenty of food and market vendors, as well as arts and crafts for children.
Organizers want to remind all festival-goers that food vendors will be taking cash and credit cards, but tickets will still need to be purchased for all beverages.
Wearing face masks is encouraged, and due to limited seating this year, it is highly recommended to bring your own chairs.
A free shuttle for attendees to and from the event will be provided by the the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority.
To use the shuttle, folks can park at the Corpus Christi City Hall. Paid parking near Heritage Park is also available.

Heart Your Park
According to a release from the City of Corpus Christi, the “Heart Your Park” program is funded by CITGO and guided by the NRPA.
The program was designed to engage communities in preserving and improving parklands for people and wildlife.
On March 19, volunteers ages 16 and up will be working to clean up the butterfly garden area at Hans & Suter Wildlife Refuge to prepare for spring and summer butterfly populations.
The clean up effort will include removing overgrowth, clearing plants harmed by the 2021 freeze and adding new plants to this area.
