Catch the early summer vibes at La Izquierda surf and music festival happening in Galveston this weekend

HOUSTON – Celebrate the good vibes of the third coast!

Spend the weekend at Galveston listening to music and surfing the waves at the three-day music and surf festival.

The La Izquierda Surf and Music Festival is returning to Beach Central on May 5-7, 2023, and this year promises to be bigger and better.

Enjoy the sounds of hip-hop, reggae, folk, indies, psych rock, and zydeco! With about 20 bands performing, including music from Los Skarnales, DEM Roots, GALVEZTON, and Bun B as the headliner, you’ll have a fun time dancing the weekend away.

Plus, can you ride the wave? In addition to the music, men and women can participate in a longboard surf competition that celebrates style and promotes stoke in the Texas surf community. This year, you’ll have a chance to compete against Galveston’s favorite astronaut Christina Koch. Be sure to sign up for your chance to win the trophy and awesome prizes.

Rain or shine, get a head start on the summer fun with your family and friends!
