The Whooping Crane Festival is the kick off for Port Aransas Spring time events around here and is always a fan favorite in Port Aransas. Make sure to bring your binoculars and camera as you won’t want to miss these spectacular and rarest of cranes; (actually one of the most endangered birds in the world!) as they make their annual trip to Port Aransas.

The last naturally-occuring population of Whooping Crane can only be viewed up close here in the Coastal Bend.

SandFest

THE BIGGEST PORT ARANSAS EVENT OF THE YEAR
The Texas SandFest started in 1997, and no wonder it’s still going on, it’s seriously amazing to see what these artist and sculptors can do with just thier medium of sand! Since then it has grown into an extensive 3 day long festival. Artists from around the world come to Port Aransas both as amateurs and professionals and compete each year in the competition. There are always changing themes each year but the main theme/mission stays the same: “Texas Sandfest Gives Back” Mission: To give back to the community by raising funds for local charities and scholarships for high school seniors.
The event continues to be held in the same area of the beach over the past few years. Mile Markers 10-14 experience most of the action. Island Retreat Condominims is the closest accomodations to the event. Sandcastle Codnominiums and the Aransas Princess are also within walking distance. Don’t worry, try the latest Global Search feature of the website and quickly find accommodations for any dates at any of the 12 resort properties we manage.
In 2014, 2015, 2016, & 2017 CCMS Inc. (portaransas-texas.com) was the primary sponsor for the event. CCMS Inc. stressed the theme “Salute the Troops: Past, Present, Future” CCMS Inc. Portaransas-texas.com went so far as to pay for the admission to the event for all of their guests included in their managed resorts.
We can’t wait to see you there!
