About Houston

Houston is the fourth largest city in the nation, with a massive number of freeways and a geographical spread roughly the same size as the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Hometown to the likes of Beyoncé, ZZ Top and Wes Anderson, Houston is a bustling city with roots in the oil industry and intense pride in their sports teams including the Texans and Rockets. Culturally rich districts with museums, theaters and dive clubs coexist with thriving nightlife, a hip music scene and a sense of Texan funkiness. While there is something fun to do daily, perhaps at the urban downtown park Discovery Green or the George R. Brown Convention Center, most Houstonians mark their calendars for Free Press Summer Fest, the Houston Art Car Parade and Houston Pride Week.
