COLE PARK

The Bay Jammin' Surfing, Concert & Cinema Series are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Set at the Anderson Amphitheater in Cole Park along the shoreline with our beautiful Corpus Christi Bay as the backdrop, these concerts and movies make wonderful experiences. Since 1989, the CONCERT SERIES has offered a variety of musical formats during the summer, so during Summer 2009, it CELEBRATED 21 YEARS! The series presents performances by local and Texas bands from a variety of genré, like rock, blues, funk, soul, latin, jazz, salsa, adult contemporary, alternative rock, reggae, calypso, merengue, Top 40, club and party music. For seven years now, the CINEMA SERIES has been offered during the Spring through the Fall. Movies are family-friendly and range from animation, comedy, drama, romance, adventure, science fiction, action, fantasy and more. For the past three years, the SURFING SERIES has featured wind, wave, surf and skate flicks during the month of May. All concerts and movies are FREE and everyone is invited, so come out and bring your lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the great entertainment with family and friends. All the films are closed captioned.
