Houston Weekend Guide: July 11 – 13, 2025

Three fresh reasons to skip the sofa and explore H-Town’s summer energy—perfect for families, date nights, or anyone Googling things to do in Houston this weekend.

🎤 Meow Wolf Houston Summer Concert Series

Friday, July 11 • Doors 7 p.m. • Meow Wolf Houston (Fifth Ward)

Step inside the city’s mind-bending art playground and catch hometown blues-rock legend The Mighty Orq on opening night of Meow Wolf’s first-ever Summer Concert Series. Your ticket unlocks two experiences in one: access to every interdimensional art portal plus a live set from one of Houston’s most electrifying guitarists. Concerts continue weekly through July 25, so bookmark the lineup now.

Vibe: 21-plus date night, art-and-music fusion

🧁 I Scream for Ice Cream Party | Children’s Museum Houston

Saturday & Sunday, July 12 – 13 • 9 a.m.–6 p.m.

Beat the heat and celebrate National Ice Cream Month with hands-on food science. Kids shake bags of cream into tasty treats, test DIY toppings, enjoy bilingual opera pop-ups, and score free cups of Blue Bell while supplies last. Pro tip: arrive before noon to snag spot-parking and beat the afternoon crowd.

Vibe: Family-friendly, STEM + sugar rush

🎷 Summer Symphony Nights | Miller Outdoor Theatre

Saturday, July 12 • Concert 8:30 p.m. • Hermann Park

Pack a picnic blanket for an open-air performance by the Houston Symphony—classics, show tunes, and a night sky soundtrack. Covered-seat tickets drop free online at 10 a.m. the day before; hillside lawn seating is always open. Arrive early for parking or take METRORail to Hermann Park / Museum District and stroll in stress-free.

Vibe: Romantic evening or cultured family outing
