What’s At Market 8/10/25

OkraFest 2025 was a sparkling success!
Thank you to everyone who showed up in style for our annual gala — known as the “Met Gala of Galveston.” From glitter to okra, live music to amazing food, it was a night to remember — all in support of our mission to grow a healthier, more connected community.

Honoring Steven J. Baines
This year’s OkraFest Honoree was the one and only Steven J. Baines — longtime supporter, volunteer, board leader, and unstoppable force for good. We’re honored to have him in our orbit.

Thank You, Volunteers!
Events like this happen because of the incredible people who show up, year after year, to lend their time and heart. From setup to sparkle stations, you make OkraFest magical. We appreciate you more than words can say.

Big News: We’re Now Groundswell!
Formerly Galveston’s Own Farmers Market, our new name reflects who we’ve always been: more than a market. From the Young Gardeners Program to Real Food Project, Victory Gardens, and more — we’re proud to bring it all together under one powerful identity.
