Shop Local at Herrman & Herrman Market Days
If you enjoy discovering local businesses, add Herrman & Herrman Market Days to your weekend plans. This family-friendly pop-up market brings small businesses, vendors, and artisans together at our Corpus Christi office.
Held one Saturday per month, Market Days gives neighbors an opportunity to browse handmade goods, crafts, artisan foods, jewelry, home goods, and other vendor offerings. Admission is free.
Location: Herrman & Herrman office parking lot, 1201 3rd Street, Corpus Christi, TX 78404.
Visit our Market Days page and community events listings to confirm the next date, hours, and announcements before attending. Market Days is a scheduled monthly event, so check which Saturday it falls on.
Bring a friend, meet local sellers, and make shopping part of a relaxed day around town.
Take a Walk Along the Downtown Seawall
For a low-key outing, explore the downtown seawall. Waterfront views, public art, and nearby attractions make it a good place to slow down and enjoy Corpus Christi Bay.
Visit Corpus Christi highlights walking, sightseeing, and enjoying the waterfront among the seawall’s attractions.
Consider starting your morning with coffee and a walk before the rest of your plans. Couples can build a casual date around the waterfront, while families can choose a shorter route that works for younger children.
Bring water, wear comfortable shoes, and check the weather before leaving. You can make this the main event or a simple stop between activities.
Visit the Texas State Aquarium
The Texas State Aquarium is a weekend option for families and visitors interested in wildlife. Its exhibits introduce guests to animals and habitats through educational and interactive experiences.
The aquarium features dolphins, sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, and other animals, giving visitors plenty to explore.
Check its official website for current hours, admission information, and presentation schedules. Planning around a few must-see exhibits can help you avoid feeling rushed.
For families with children, allow time for breaks rather than trying to move through everything at once. A slower visit gives everyone more opportunity to observe, ask questions, and enjoy the experience.
Explore the USS Lexington Museum
History enthusiasts can spend part of the weekend aboard the USS Lexington Museum, located on North Beach near the Texas State Aquarium.
Choose it as your main activity if your group enjoys military history, aircraft, or exploring an unusual museum setting. Review visitor information beforehand so you understand the routes, physical demands, and accessibility options.
Wear comfortable footwear and give yourself time to explore without hurrying.
Although the Lexington and aquarium are close together, consider your group’s energy before scheduling both in one day. Visiting one on Saturday and the other on Sunday may make for a more comfortable weekend.
Make Time for Art and Culture
A museum visit offers a different pace from a beach outing or busy shopping day. Consider the Art Museum of South Texas, whose exhibitions and educational programming provide opportunities to experience regional and national artwork.
Check current exhibitions before visiting and choose something that interests your group. An art museum can work well for a date, an afternoon with friends, or an independent outing.
You can also explore galleries at the Art Center of Corpus Christi, which Visit Corpus Christi includes among the city’s attractions.
Pair an art stop with lunch and leave room for conversation afterward.
Enjoy a Beach Day or Outdoor Afternoon
Beach time remains a classic Corpus Christi weekend activity. The city’s visitor guide includes beach outings and outdoor adventures among its weekend recommendations.
Keep your plans simple: pack water, sunscreen, towels, and a change of clothes. Check the conditions and rules for your chosen beach, including any parking requirements.
You do not need an entire day to enjoy being outdoors. A short walk, picnic, or afternoon watching the water can fit around other plans.
If the forecast changes, switch to a museum or another indoor attraction instead of forcing an uncomfortable outing.

CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.

Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
