5 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND
Somebody messed up. When planning the Tacolandia taco festival and the Untapped beer festival these two Saturday events should have been held right next to each other. As such, you’ll need to walk a jaunt from Buffalo Bayou (for tacos) to Discovery Green (for brews) to pair these two excellent items. Oh, well. Maybe next year. If you’re in that rare group who doesn’t like tacos or beer, maybe an air show or cultural fest is more for you this weekend.
Puerto Rican & Cuban Festival
You know there’s going to be live music and dance performances but this one also lets the crowd get dancing. There’s also a market, fashion show and food. When: Noon-10 p.m. Saturday Where: Downtown Houston, 401 Franklin
Tickets: $15-$20; prcfestival.com
Tacolandia
An outdoor taco-sampling event and festival sounds amazing. Pair it with live music and awards for the best tacos and you have a party. When: 4-7 p.m. Saturday Where: Buffalo Bayou Park, 105 Sabine Tickets: $30-$105; houstonpress. com
One Africa Music Fest
This Afro-Caribbean concert showcase brings together top musical talent from Nigeria and across Africa. When: 7 p.m. Saturday Where: Toyota Center, 1510 Polk Tickets: $35; houstontoyotacenter.com
Untapped
The craft beer and music festival features over 60 breweries and more than 250 different beers. So if you don’t find a brew that fits your taste here you’re really picky. When: 2-10 p.m. Saturday Where: Discovery Green, 1500 McKinney Tickets: $29-$129; untappedfestival.com/hou
CAF Wings Over Houston Airshow
This airshow combines Vintage World War II aircraft alongside the thrills of modern aviation. Sometimes the old and new can coexist. When: 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday Sunday Where: 510 Ellington Field Tickets: $4.50-$150; wingsoverhouston.com
