Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo – Yee-Haw Time!

Saddle up, folks—the Houston Rodeo is charging back into town, and it’s the wildest party of the year! We’re talking 20 days of pure Texas chaos: bull riding that’ll make your heart race, barrel racing with lightning-fast cowgirls, and adorable mutton bustin’ for the kiddos. The carnival’s a blast too—think Ferris wheel spins, deep-fried everything, and enough BBQ to keep you full ‘til summer. But the real headliner? Nightly concerts at NRG Stadium with megastars who’ll blow the roof off. Past years brought us Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, and Cardi B—2025’s lineup is still hush-hush, but expect a mix of country kings, pop queens, and maybe a rap wildcard. Tickets go fast, so lasso yours at the official Houston Rodeo website—this is the spring kickoff Houston lives for!

Bayou City Art Festival – Creativity Unleashed
