4 Non-Holiday Events to Check Out in Corpus Christi

A few weeks ago, we told you about some fun holiday events going on in Corpus Christi. Hopefully you had a chance to go to a few of them, but if you’re already getting burnt out from the holiday season, there are still plenty of other fun things to do. If you’re looking for an escape from the Christmas music, holiday decorations, and other celebrations, make sure you check out a few of these upcoming events:

1. Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi Men’s Basketball

After finishing 2^nd in the conference last year with a 14-4 record, the Islanders look to continue their rise to the top of the Southland Conference. Led by last year’s leading scorer and senior point guard, John Jordan, the Islanders are hoping to make their first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2007. They’ll have to go through Stephen F. Austin University, who went undefeated in conference play last year, but the Islanders have started the season off strong with an early win against St. Louis University – a 5^th seed in last year’s NCAA Tournament. Single game ticket prices start at just $8 for adults and can be purchased from the American Bank Center box office.
