"Downtown Galveston restaurant Hearsay on the Strand will host multiple parties and events throughout February but its balcony packages, where you can watch parades on the Strand below, are where the party is really at. The $85 balcony party ticket gets you beads to throw at paradegoers, New Orleans-inspired menu options and cocktails, music, and access to a cash bar. Balcony parties are held February 2 through February 4, and February 9 to February 10." - Lane Gillespie
