It is time to plan all the things to do in Houston this weekend and throughout the week! Houston is home to cultural attractions, eclectic and fun events, as well as a wealth of seasonal activities. Stay in the know for all things H-Town by following us on all the socials and subscribing to our newsletter (it’s just a scooch to the right in the sidebar!).
We are never short on places to go and things to do. We curate a a great list of events for kids of all ages and stages – not just the large commercial ones but the local festivals, the budget-friendly options, and fun homey events that we would take our kids too. It is time to head out on a local adventure, so grab the kids and let’s stay close to home! Or, if you’d rather stay in, maybe hook up with other moms virtually:
