The Old Quarter and ARTS Downtown proudly presents the
Old Quarter Songwriter Festival!
November 13-15, 2025
Get ready for three unforgettable days of storytelling, soul, and song! From November 13th to 15th, the heart of Downton Galveston will come alive with the voices of songwriters from near and far, sharing original music in its purest form.
The Old Quarter Songwriter Festival celebrates the craft of songwriting in an intimate listening-room setting where lyrics take center stage. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Texas folk tradition or discovering the magic of songwriter showcases for the first time, this weekend promises heartfelt performances, acoustic brilliance, and a gathering of kindred spirits.
Join us as we honor the voices behind the music — raw, real, and rooted in truth. This is more than just a music festival; it’s a tribute to the stories that connect us all.
