We're somehow already knocking on August's door, which means Houston's rescheduled Pride Parade is almost here. 🌈 If you missed it the first time around, this is your reminder to clear your calendar, throw on something colorful, and go celebrate one of the best days in the city.

Speaking of icons... we're sending one lucky winner and their favorite person to RuPaul's Drag Race Werq The World with VIP Meet & Greets and show tickets. Consider this your sign to sashay over and enter. 💅✨

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• If you're heading to Galveston anytime soon, you might want to leave a little earlier. 🚧 Starting July 31 after 9 p.m., TxDOT is changing traffic patterns at the Texas City Wye as work continues on the massive I-45 expansion. These detours and a permanent connector closure are expected to stick around for about two years while crews work on major improvements. Read more at the link in our bio.
