Events in Houston
Houston is America's most ethnically diverse city, and its event scene reflects every corner of the globe. The city's Museum District rivals any in the nation, the live music and hip-hop scene is world-famous, and its food culture — from Vietnamese pho in Midtown to Tex-Mex in the East End — spawns festivals and events year-round. Space City also celebrates its NASA heritage with unique science and innovation events.
