Find the perfect things to do in H-Town with our Houston Weekend Guide for Thursday, March 3, 2022 through Sunday, March 6, 2022.
Of course, the return of the Rodeo is the biggest game in town this weekend, but whether you can’t wait to buckle up, or you’d rather steer clear of NRG Park, there’s plenty to keep you busy this week.
Update on Our Calendar
We’re preparing to roll out our new calendar platform later this week. As we make the transition, our existing calendar is not as robust as it normally would be and many individual items in our lists —including this one—link off our site and won’t be found in our calendar. We appreciate your patience with us as we make this transition to a new calendar with many new features.
Confirm Before You Go
Some concerts, shows, and events have been canceled or postponed—or venues temporarily closed—due to staff or participants testing positive for Covid-19. This is particularly likely for touring shows. So be sure to check ahead with the organizer of any specific event to verify that it’s still happening as scheduled.
Add an Event, Offer or Attraction
Have a truly unique event, attraction, or offering that we missed? Let us know at [email protected] or order a Boosted Calendar Listing and we’ll add it within one business day (usually sooner). We also have more robust campaigns that will move the needle in attendance for concerts, festivals, markets, attractions, restaurants, and more. Contact us at [email protected] to learn more.
