Experience Galveston’s holiday attractions and shops on Island time

HOUSTON – Experience Galveston this holiday season like you never have before.

Mel Camp heads to the island to explore its festive attractions and shops.

She first stops at the Admiralty on the Strand for all the unique and nautical holiday gifts she can find. This is the perfect store for anyone who loves the ocean. Plus, if you decide to visit them, congratulate them on celebrating their 30th anniversary at Galveston.

Then, Mel moseys over to Gracie’s for more gift ideas. It’s a cute gift shop for even the hard-core Swifties. They have everything from small trinkets to apparel and Taylor Swift ornaments.

Before Mel journeys back to Houston Life, she visits the historical Grand 1894 Opera House. It’s the official opera house of Texas, and no seat is more than 70 feet from the stage! The Grand has many great and upcoming shows, including Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, the Oakridge Boys, and a Prairie Home Companion.

There is so much to do and shops everywhere. So, if you’re planning your next holiday outing or stay in Galveston, Visit Galveston for more info.
