Bay Day: A Day of Education about Galveston Bay and Coastal Resources

Summary

Bay Day is a one-day celebration presented by the Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) and numerous community partners. It is a signature education event providing exposure to Galveston Bay for many area residents. Bay Day highlights hands-on, interactive exhibits, activities and demonstrations that emphasize the multiple uses of the Galveston Bay system. The purpose of Bay Day is to call attention to and celebrate Galveston Bay by providing fun activities for all ages, thereby increasing public awareness of the Bay's value, resources, and diversity of uses. It is GBF's hope that by attending Bay Day, visiting with exhibitors, participating in partner activities, and learning about the value of estuarine resources, the public will become stewards of the bay system and coastal heritage.
