History

edit

In 1976, the Arts Council of Corpus Christi and the Junior League of Corpus Christi co-sponsored the first Bayfest. Bayfest celebrated the unique cultural and ethnic diversity of Corpus Christi through music, art, entertainment and rides.[2]

It was run by community volunteers and Bayfest, Inc. was a non-profit organisation. Low turnout and revenue 2010 brought it to an end.
