Have an Unforgettable Weekend in Corpus Christi: August 28–30

Whether you're staying with us at Lakeside Landing or just looking for a reason to get out this weekend, Corpus Christi has plenty going on. Here's what's worth building your Friday-through-Sunday around.

Friday: Learn to cook something new Start the weekend at the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures & Education Center with a hands-on Chicken Pad Thai cooking class, 10–11 a.m. It's beginner-friendly, so no experience required — just an appetite. Heads up: missed classes or cancellations within 24 hours aren't refundable, so lock in your plans before you book. Book here

Friday evening: Give back at the beach The 2nd Annual Reel Deal Beach Clean-Up returns to South Packery Beach, 5:30–9 p.m., with free food, live music, and prizes for anyone who pitches in. Last year volunteers hauled out over 1,500 pounds of debris — if you want a feel-good way to kick off the weekend while supporting the coast we all love, this is it.

All weekend: Cheer on the Hooks The Corpus Christi Hooks are home at Whataburger Field this weekend, taking on the Midland RockHounds. Baseball, a summer night, and a stadium full of hometown energy — a classic Corpus Christi weekend move if there ever was one.

Live music downtown Catch King George: A Tribute to George Strait at Fifth & Elm, running through the King's greatest hits — think "Amarillo By Morning" and "Check Yes or No." If you love a little Texas country with your Saturday night, this one's for you.

However you spend it — make it a coastal one That's the whole idea behind Bay Area Bliss: showcasing what makes this city worth slowing down for, whether that's a beach clean-up, a ballgame, or a night of live country music. If you're visiting for the weekend, Lakeside Landing puts you close to it all — book your stay and make the Coastal Bend your home base.

Weekend plans change fast — always double check event times and details before you head out.
