At The Bend Magazine, we provide a way for locals, second home owners and visitors to embrace all of the great things our region has to offer. A locally owned and operated company, we have built an audience that looks to us for information on where to eat, shop, play, live and find quality health services. Each month, we create powerful and engaging content, tell local stories, and create experiences that build a stronger community.

For nine years, Simone Sanders and TABPHE~Corpus Christi have built the Coastal Bend’s only Juneteenth celebration with zero paid staff and zero executive director, just volunteers who show up year after year, sore feet and all.

Last year, over 20,000 people came out, some traveling from as far as Ohio and California. This year’s lineup brings Bun B to the stage Saturday and Elle Varner Sunday, with the whole festival moving indoors at TAMU-CC June 19–21.

So bring the family, bring your sunscreen, and come find out—as Sanders puts it—“why it’s not just a day off.”

Val Perez didn’t plan on becoming a Banana Ball coach. She was too busy being a real-life firefighter, paramedic and USA Baseball athlete.

But when the universe lines things up just right, you show up. We sat down with the Corpus Christi native and head coach of the Firefighters during their sold-out hometown series to talk culture, competition and coming home.
