From the author of the book comes a wonderful tour and a riveting journey through the forgotten parts of downtown Galveston that were once bustling with wild parties and generous offerings of hourly love.
Join renowned author and speaker Kimber Fountain as she brings to life the tales – both tragic and triumphant – of Galveston’s Red Light District: A History of The Line
Known today as a colorful resort destination featuring family-friendly entertainment and a thriving arts district, Galveston was once notorious for its flourishing vice economy of illegal liquor and gambling and an infamous red light district called simply, “The Line.”
This unassuming five blocks of Postoffice Street came to life every night and remained a stubborn mainstay of the island cityscape for nearly seventy years. In the late 1950s, the era was known as the “Free State of Galveston” finally came to an end, and today, almost all that remains of its history has been sensationalized and marginalized.
Galveston was more than just a city of “gangsters” and lewd women, and Kimber Fountain pursues the authentic, sequestered story of women who wanted to make their own rules and the city that wanted to let them.
Tours are every Wednesday-Saturday starting at 7pm. Tickets are $25 per person and can be purchased online at redlightdistricttoursofgalveston.com in advance or at the start of the tour (cash only).
Reservations are required for cash/onsite tickets, and both online ticket purchases and cash reservations must be made by 5pm the day of the tour.
The tour meets on the north steps of the old Galveston Post Office at 601 25th Street (corner of 25th and Church St.). Meet at the north steps located on Church Street side.

September 20th (7-11pm): Pirate Night at Brewchachos – Talk Like a Pirate Day might fall on a Thursday this year, but that doesn’t stop pirates from dragging the holiday out an extra day or two. The Bilge Pumps pirate band will be sailing into town to perform for this pirate party and concert at Brewchachos Cantina on the Strand. Those on the island or nearby can swing by after work for tacos, tankards, and tall ship sailors as this pirate party kicks off the weekend. There will be a costume contest for adults with $100 cash prize (and one for the kiddos as well… for slightly less), so bring your best piratical gear and proceed to get your pirate on and land the booty. The concert will be from 7-11pm and there will be no admission fee so even the skint broke pirates can come join the party. Brewchachos is located at 2110 Strand St, Galveston.
