Things to do in Houston this weekend – August 3rd – August 6th – White Linen Nights edition
White Linen Night in the Heights is THIS SATURDAY. If you've never been I would recommend trying to find somewhere that sells tickets, otherwise you're going to want to pre-game as the bars get *SLAMMED* . If you don't live in the Heights I plead with you to walk, bike or uber over as the parking situation will be a mess.
If insane crowds aren't your thing check out the Shakespeare Festival at Miller Outdoor Theater. This week also marks the start of Houston restaurant weeks. Enjoy your weekend Houston!
