Weekend of Apr 10 - Apr 12, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Crisp mornings (58°F) giving way to perfect afternoon highs of 78°F. Zero percent chance of rain makes it a rare dry Houston weekend.

Ongoing Westchase District streetscape improvements on Walnut Bend may cause minor lane shifts.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

The 39th Annual Houston Art Car Parade

Saturday, Apr 11, 2:00 PM (Parade Start)

"It is the world’s oldest and largest art car parade. It offers a high-energy, uniquely Houston experience that justifies the 12-mile drive from 77077 more than any standard local festival."

PRO TIP: Avoid the Allen Parkway exit. Instead, take I-10 East to the Smith/Louisiana exit and park at the Theater District parking garages (roughly a 10-minute walk to the route).
