There’s really no place like cosmopolitan Houston if you’re interested in the great outdoors, history, arts, and culture. While the city boasts of a conglomeration of kid-friendly hotspots and national theme parks, what really takes the cake are the unique events. While parents earnestly impart their knowledge about Houston’s historic blooming cotton-growing and manufacturing sector to their kids or teachers to their students, authentic Dallas cuisines are waiting to be devoured.

Visitors will also sample award-winning foodie-centric functions, music festivals, rodeos, and sporting events. The city was included in lists of ‘top cities’ in several publications and online review websites the past several years, and deservingly so. HotWire.com named it one of the most affordable U.S. vacation destinations for families, sports, and food enthusiasts. With just a few days’ visit, you’ll see why the Southern charm and International grace that the city exudes rubs off on visitors easily.

Experience A Musical Explosion
Packed with culture, art, self-expression, and entertainment, each event held at Warehouse Live is always awe-inspiring. All year round, it hosts performances from up-and-coming groups, rock bands, duos, and DJs from all around the country. Part of the appeal of Warehouse Live is the fact that it appears a little scrappy – an understatement on the outside while packing a punch on the inside. With its laid-back atmosphere, standing room, excellent surround sound system, it sets the stage just right for all types of events, be it jazz, blues, rock or R&B. And if you set it up right, a party bus tailgate party sounds just about right!
