The Astros won the World Series. Now what do we do for fun?
Is it weird to wonder if there’s a world beyond celebrating the Houston Astros’ World Series win? Not really. But the event sphere of things to do in Houston continues, though they’ll probably be full of people wearing orange.
So get your Astros gear on and head out to these events. Consider it championship communion.
