In 1976, as a Bicentennial gift to the City, the Arts Council of Corpus Christi and the Junior League of Corpus Christi co-sponsored the first Bayfest. The festival has been held every year since and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2006! Bayfest continues to celebrate the unique cultural and ethnic diversity of our region by composing a colorful explosion of music, art, entertainment and fun.
The food, drinks and game booths are operated by non-profit organizations. 80% of the funds raised are returned to these groups to continue and expand their activities with the remaining 20% to help stage the festival for the following year. Bayfest, Inc. is a non-profit organization.
Bayfest works with over 5,000 community volunteers who give their time and efforts to assure its success each year.
