Houston Events 2026–27

Houston’s season starts in the air with Wings Over Houston, October 31 to November 1. Día de los Muertos fills Discovery Green on November 1. Then mid-November brings two big shopping events: the Houston Ballet Nutcracker Market and the International Quilt Festival.

Zoo Lights at the Houston Zoo runs from November 19 into January, and the H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade goes downtown on Thanksgiving morning. In January, the Chevron Houston Marathon weekend and the Houston Auto Show start the new year.

Dates can change, so check the event’s website before you go.
