Festival season has officially entered the chat, and Houston’s calendar is STACKED. A lot of what’s coming up celebrates the different cultures and communities around our city, which means plenty of good food, music, art, and reasons to spend the entire day outside. I put together a full festival guide so you don’t miss them.

Now let’s turn all this festival talk into free festival plans. Enter to win Sunday All-Star Playlist tickets to the 40th Annual Gruene Music & Wine Fest, 10 tasting tickets, and two T-shirts.* 🍷✨

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Making friends as an adult is hard, so Speed Friending at Habibi Bazaar is making it easier. Craft, sip, meet new people, and hopefully leave with a few new friends on November 22.

• If 70s rock is your love language, AM/FM - The 70’s Rock Experience has your Saturday covered at The Barn at The Frio on October 10. Let that hair down.

• Chloe Radcliffe brings her sharp stand-up to Punch Line Houston on December 16. You’ve seen her on Comedy Central and After Midnight, now go hear the jokes in person.

• Keep your thoughts to yourself around this guy. Peter Antoniou: Brain Teaser brings mind-reading and British wit to House of Blues Houston on May 7. Put that brain to the test.

• Plus other just announced shows in Houston!

PHOTO BOOTHS IN HOUSTON

I will NEVER walk past a photobooth without getting in. It’s basically the law. So naturally, I rounded up some of the best photobooths around Houston for your next night out. Grab your people, squeeze in, and leave with a tiny strip of evidence that the night actually happened. 📸

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Fifth Ward got a new community hub! Two formerly abandoned homes were transformed into a bookstore and art gallery, with a free art and book swap held last weekend.

• Houston celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival this last weekend with family events at Asia Society Texas and Children’s Museum Houston featuring crafts, cultural activities, performances, and a lion dance.
