Spring: What’s Happening in Htown
Our favorite requisite climate expert Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring this year, and boy was he on the money in 2024. Across Houston, jackets are going into closets and will remain in storage for the foreseeable future as the city enjoys a fleeting dose of spring temperatures…. No, truly fleeting….
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.”
