Boating, Saltwater Sports and Life on the Texas Coast to be Celebrated on the Corpus Christi Bayfront at Major Summer Festival and Expo The PROGRESSIVE® Texas Coastal Boating & Saltwater Expo™ will take place on the Corpus Christi Bayfront this summer, July 11 through 14, 2013, produced by Costa Productions, LLC, in cooperation with the City of Corpus Christi Marina. The Expo marks the return of the Boat Show to the Corpus Christi Bayfront, one of the most beautiful waterfront venues in the United States. Over 200 new saltwater boats from at least 30 manufacturers will be on display on land and on water, to be exhibited by the most reputable dealers in South Texas as well as several direct, Texas-based boat makers. Some dealers and makers will be conducting on-water demonstrations and sea trials of select models, and pre-owned, brokered, motor-yachts will be displayed on water. More than a boat show, the Expo will be a celebration of all that we love about the Texas Gulf Coast and the saltwater lifestyle. Dozens of vendors will be under two, large exhibition tents and will feature boating and fishing gear, outdoor apparel, travel and real estate, outdoor living products, food products and more. Music and special performances will be presented on the Budweiser Live Stage, supplied by L&F Distributors, plus great food, from barbecue to seafood to desserts, will be available in ample supply under the Expo’s North and South Food & Beverage Tents. Expo attendees will be thrilled and amazed by on-water demonstrations from state and federal agencies, including sea rescues and law enforcement operations, and special attraction vessels will be docked on the breakwater side of the 13-acre Expo site at the end of the Lawrence Street T-Head. The Expo VIP Day will open at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 11, and will feature the Opening Ceremony at 6:00 p.m. at which the Expo will be officially opened by Corpus Christi Mayor the Honorable Nelda Martinez, with invited guests to include the Corpus Christi City Council, the Nueces County Commissioners Court and other local dignitaries. The PROGRESSIVE® Texas Coastal Boating & Saltwater Expo™ will show off the beautiful Corpus Christi Bayfront and the wonderful lifestyle of the Texas Coastal Bend area to the maximum audience of locals and visitors, in the very busiest month of the year. Costa Productions, LLC, is a Corpus Christi-based partnership between Costa Media Texas, visitor guide publisher and advertising agency, and Gulf Coast Marine, the oldest and largest boat dealership in South Texas.
