Galveston Island is home to this year’s Fuse: APRO’s National Rent-to-Own Convention & Trade Show on May 9–11. Make your plans now for your Spring trip to the beach!

While you’re in Galveston, mixing Fuse business with island pleasure will be as easy as an early-summer breeze. From the adventure pyramids of Moody Gardens to the thrills of the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, the laid-back vibe and gorgeous surroundings will thaw your winter blues. Learn about Galveston’s unique history at an impressive variety of museums, such as Bishop’s Palace, an historic 18th-century Victorian mansion, or the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa and the adjacent Texas Seaport Museum. On Galveston Island, even shopping and dining are cultural experiences. The Historic Downtown Strand Seaport District features beautiful Victorian storefronts with unique shops, restaurants and art galleries just a short walk from Galveston’s Pier 21 and glistening harbor, the site of APRO’s 2017 Gala at Fisherman’s Wharf.
