5 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND
You feel the rush? The rush to get outside and do something before summer settles in and covers us in sweat? Yeah, we feel it, too.
With that in mind, here are five reasons to get out of your house — for food, with kids, or without.
Spring Corvette Car Show
There will come a time when the Corvette isn’t revered as a symbol of American pride and nostalgic glory, but, thankfully, we’re not there yet. When: 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday Where: Sugar Land Town Square, 15958 City Walk, Sugar Land Information: corvette ownersclubhouston.com
FUNomenal Family Festival
You know it’s going to be a good time when “fun” is spelled with all caps. This “FUN” event features music, live performances, rides, interactive activities and more. There’s always “more.” When: 1 -6 p.m. Saturday Where: Discovery Green, 1500 McKinney Information: discoverygreen.com
Throwdown Texas Burger & Music Fest
You could list this festival’s live music and family-friendly activities, but all that really matters is the word “burger,” right? When: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday Where: Town Green Park, 2099 Lake Robbins, The Woodlands
Information: $10; throwdowntx.com
Texas Crawfish & Music Festival
It’s still crawfish season, so eat them. A lot of them. This festival will get you started. When: Noon-midnight Saturday, noon-6 p.m. Sunday Where: Preservation Park, 26302 Preston, Spring Information: $5-$12; texascrawfishfestival.com
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
There are rumblings that this might be Petty’s last large-scale band tour. Yes, musicians say that all the time, but he is 66 and can’t be on the road forever. Don’t miss this chance. When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday Where: Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins, The Woodlands Information: $39.50-$150; 281364-3010, woodlandscenter.org
