About Island Star Performances

About us:

Island Star Performances is a non-profit organization created in 2008 by the Moody Foundation with the vision to promote arts and entertainment. The 2010 Concert Season marks the third year in an ongoing collaborative effort between Moody Gardens and Island Star Performances bringing nationally acclaimed artists and an exciting array of special events to Galveston Island.

Since the inaugural season in 2008, Island Star Performances has hosted renowned artists such as The Beach Boys, David Cook, Pat Green, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mariachi Sol De Mexico and more.

Concert facilities include The Moody Gardens Expo Arena and Outdoor Amphitheater. Nestled among 242 acres of lush tropical gardens along Offatts Bayou on Texas' Historic Galveston Island, Moody Gardens is a premiere entertainment destination for business or pleasure and provides the backdrop for an unforgettable experience.

The 60,000-square foot barrier-free Expo Arena can seat up to 6,000 people for a concert or event and has state of the art lighting and sound capabilities. The Expo Arena has been designed for outstanding acoustics that enhance all genres of music.

The Moody Gardens Outdoor Amphitheater is Moody Garden’s newest venue nestled between Palm Beach, Offatts Bayou and the majestic pyramids. The unique setting creates an ideal atmosphere to enjoy performances and special events.

The greater Moody Gardens Complex features a 428-room world-class resort and convention hotel, and magnificent pyramids that contain a living rainforest, a Texas-sized aquarium, premium water entertainment area (Palm Beach) and an I-MAX theater.

The 2010 season is made possible through the generous support of our corporate sponsors: Alex Rodriquez Mercedes Benz, Coca-Cola, Moody National Bank, and AT&T-The Real Yellow Pages.

The Moody Gardens Outdoor Amphitheater and Expo Arena are located at Seven Hope Blvd. on Galveston Island, Texas.
