Summer Band Concert Series
As we usher in the Summer season, we embrace the humid weather and sunny days - and welcome the annual return of the Summer Band Concert Series.
Now in its 81st year, the Island Beach Band, directed by Frank Incaprera, is as a part of Galveston summers as snow cones, flip flops, and trips to the beach.
Join your neighbors, friends, and family by attending band performances at the historic Sealy Gazebo on 24th Street and Avenue I across from Rosenberg Library. Family friendly entertainment attracts a casual crowd of locals and tourists to the downtown site.
Summer band concerts are free to the public. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday in June, July, and August.
