Find the perfect things to do in Houston this weekend with our modified, post-Beryl 365 Houston Weekend Guide for Saturday, July 13 to Sunday, July 14, 2024.
Our team has updated this week’s usual 4-day Weekend Guide—prepared 2 weeks in advance with updates—to reflect events that are happening despite the storm and mark previously planned events that are no longer happening. Marking events as canceled rather than removing them helps people who were interested in those events know the status and change their plans accordingly.
However, for ease of use on Saturday and Sunday, as more and more power comes online, we’ve created this mini-Weekend Guide showcasing only the events confirmed to be happening.
