Galveston, about an hour from Houston, Texas, draws families throughout the (very) warm summer months – and mild spring and fall – for its beaches and theme parks.
But this year it is adding a Passport to Holiday Magic program, frpm November 16, 2013 through January 4, 2014. With over 1,000 holiday events, many of them free, Galveston is truly a year-round family destination.
The passport is part of a contest where visitors can get stamps when they go to different events, then win hotel stays, waterpark admissions or a cruise. But anyone coming to Galveston for the free holiday events is a winner.
