Spring: What’s Happening in Htown
Wait, is it already summer? Houstonians are a resilient bunch, so the rising temperatures certainly won’t prevent intrepid residents from enjoying a bevy of seasonal activities happening in the Bayou City in April and May. Plus, it’s much better to venture outdoors when it is 90 degrees vs. 110 degrees, so the time to take advantage is now. Below, the PC Pulse has laid out a handy guide of some notable upcoming events across the categories of art, food, music, film, sports, general culture, and others that should just be a grand old occasion.
Time to seize the moment and make the most of Houston’s “spring.”
