Kappa / Texas Beach Party 2009 DEAD

We have been receiving questions regarding this event and I am sorry to tell you it is officially dead.

Last year (2008) Galveston promoter Tim Day officially canceled the event a few days before it was scheduled to begin. Citing he wanted the young people to focus on job opportunities.

This year there has been no buzz or mention of this event from promoters.

Normally this event takes place the same weekend as Black College Reunion in Daytona Beach, FL.
