Houston is a bustling place all year round, but somehow it’s elevated in the summer time! The sense of excitement is almost palpable as everybody enjoys this season in the city. Although it can be hot and humid, there are always tons of events to enjoy this time of year. With all of the options available to you out there, it’s easy to elevate your summer with a bucket list of fantastic opportunities for fun. These are just some of the choices to consider to end your summer with a bang. I am excited to partner with Transportation in Houston to help make your summer one to remember. Check out our list of suggestions below!
Winery and Brewery Tours
Cool down with refreshing beverages! The atmosphere at local wineries and breweries can definitely vary, so it’s not a difficult task to find a scene that you enjoy. Downtown, it’s easy to find a high energy, trendy spot like Saint Arnold or Karbach Brewing Company. For those who enjoy a laid back vibe, you can’t go wrong checking out some local wineries. La Fuente is a close option that offers sophisticated two hour tastings that are sure to expand your wine knowledge! Make sure you have a designated driver or car service arranged so everyone can enjoy the fun and stay safe.
Tailgate at an Astros Game
Enjoying a home game at Minute Maid Park is one of the simple pleasures in life, no matter your age! There’s nothing better than enjoying the morale of the city here, and tailgating is another way to enhance your experience and overall team spirit at these games.
Houston Restaurant Weeks
Foodies will rejoice during Houston Restaurant Weeks that will span from the beginning of August to the fourth day of September. From vegan finds to classic steak houses, there’s sure to be a participating restaurant that tickles your fancy. Last week I took advantage of HRW deals at Xochi and Potente! If you are looking for something more hands-on, you can even take advantage of a cooking class during restaurant week. I visited Main Course Cooking School in Spring the other week. For $45 you get to learn cooking techniques, enjoy the delicious meal you prepared, and if you get there early you can tour the inspirational design houses at Main Street America. The cooking school is also BYOB!
Local Festivals
Houston has a distinct personality, and the most efficient way to get familiar with it is to enjoy the local flavor. You can do this by checking out some of the festivals like the International Jazz Festival, ElectroLuv Fest, Polish Harvest Festival, Index Fest, the Houston Hot Sauce Festival, and more. There’s a little something for everybody cuisine, interest, and culture!
Feel the Groove
Summer is the perfect time to take advantage of the musical talent in the city! There are tons of concerts spanning a spectrum of genres at local venues like Revention, Arena Theatre, House of Blues, and Stereo Live. It’s worth it to trek a bit out of city limits to enjoy a concert at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Woods Pavilion.
Be sure to consider reserving professional transportation for any of these events! This is the perfect way to ensure your experience in the city is one filled with convenience and fun. With a limo or party bus along for the ride, all of the usual inconveniences that come with a trip instantly disappear. You aren’t going to have to deal with things like finding directions, traffic, parking, or dealing with the quest of getting a trustworthy designated driver for the end of the night.
A limousine or party bus is a luxury transport option that comes with sophisticated features, but that doesn’t mean that it’s out of your price range. When you split the overall cost among the total number of passengers in attendance, it usually works out to be the same price as an Uber service, or even cheaper. When you compare the features, it’s easy to see why it’s more beneficial to invest in professional Transportation in Houston. Stay cool and safe this summer, Houston!
