Surfside Beach residents and visitors will have several local events to keep on their radar Saturday, with election day, a community fundraiser, and a historical re-enactment all taking place in the coastal community.

General elections are scheduled for Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Residents who are eligible to vote are encouraged to review their voting information ahead of time and make a plan to cast their ballot during the posted voting hours.

Later in the morning, the Volunteer Fire Department BBQ Fundraiser will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 202 Fort Velasco Drive in Surfside, Texas. The fundraiser gives residents and visitors a chance to support local volunteer firefighters while taking part in a community gathering.

At noon, Surfside will also host a Treaty of Velasco Re-enactment at 1304 Monument Drive in Surfside, Texas. The event highlights a piece of Texas history connected to the area and gives attendees an opportunity to experience a local historical presentation.

Together, the events create a full Saturday schedule in Surfside Beach, combining civic participation, community support, and local history.
