FIRST OF THE FIRST WEEKENDS FOR 2014 BEGINS NOW — Head for La Retama Park tonight for the First Friday ArtWalk in downtown Corpus Christi. The Harbor BridgeWalk is also on for Sunday, but Marina Market Days and MusicWalk have been suspended for a few months while Shoreline Blvd. under goes realignment.
You won't miss out on music, however! Live music, family activities, food vendors and craft booths set up in La Retama Park from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. every first Friday of the month. Take a self guided tour of the many art galleries, museums and shops, all open extra hours for the ArtWalk. Some 100 venues stretching 23 city blocks will be open and free to the public. Stick around for the prize drawing at 8:45 p.m.
BridgeWalkers, meet at The Galvan House in Heritage Park on 1581 N Chaparral at 8 a.m. Sunday to get started on your three plus-mile walk across the Harbor Bridge. The walk ends back at Heritage Park where it wraps up at noon, followed by Fitness Sunday!
Fitness Sunday is the creation of the Corpus Christi Junior Leagues' Kids n the Kitchen, which promotes childhood health and wellness by empowering children to make healthy lifestyle choices. Fitness activities include yoga, tai chi and Zumba. Fitness Sunday happens on the first Sunday of the month just after the BridgeWalk. Nice to finish a 3-mile "stroll" across the Harbor Bridge!
