Events in Houston

A staple of the South, this sprawling metropolis in Texas has created four new stadiums in the last 15 years, including the Astros’ Minute Maid Park and the Texans’ NRG Stadium. Events like the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo draw in crowds of over 2.5 million people annually, and Free Press Summer Festival brings in some of music’s biggest names every year. Visitors can easily make their way to and from concerts or sporting events using the city’s metrorail, which will also make stops along the museum district, another popular tourist destination.
