Our Top Pick This Weekend – Open House at the Y!
Live at Live Oak
Join the community for a captivating evening of music and culture for the Lunar New Year on January 25th, presented by the Memorial Park Conservancy and generously sponsored by H-E-B.
Be mesmerized by a dazzling performance from the Unity Dragon and Lion Dance Troupe, a local non-profit organization showcasing the vibrant art and culture of dragon and lion dance. And savor complimentary treats while they last and enter for a chance to win exciting giveaways. Parking spots fill up quickly, so I recommend getting there a little early. This way you also get a great spot to watch the performances.

Head to the Houston Arboretum for a day of tree-mendous fun and discover the amazing ways wildlife uses trees. This is a favorite of mine! Embark on an exciting hike, create adorable wooden woodland creatures, learn how to build cozy homes for birds, and maybe even encounter the legendary Johnny Appleseed!
Spend the morning with singing storytellers at Levy Park with the kids. This weekend, the Houston Grand Opera will be presenting a kid-friendly version of Carmen.
