Tanabata: Star Festival in Corpus Christi

About thirty minutes down the coast, the Japanese Star Festival comes to Corpus Christi in a celebration rooted in one of the most enduring love stories in the world — two celestial beings kept apart by the sweep of the Milky Way, reunited for a single night each year. It's the kind of event that feels both wonderfully foreign and quietly universal, filled with color, tradition, and a certain sense of wonder that lingers long after you leave. Afterward, let Beached Inn ease you back into the unhurried rhythm of Cinnamon Shore, where the salt air and the sound of the surf have a way of making everything feel right again.
