Over 100 vendors converge to showcase handmade treasures, fresh produce, artisan goods, and tantalizing food trucks—all set against scenic harbor views in a family-friendly, pet-friendly atmosphere. It’s a true expression of Texas beachside culture.
Join the Festivities at SeaFair
Come autumn, SeaFair sweeps into Rockport for its golden 50th anniversary from October 2–5, 2025.
