Here’s my curated list of Houston events for the entire month of February! Are you subscribed to my newsletter? As always, I hope to see you out in the city!

Happy Black History Month! As you saw in January, if you click the event titles you can add events to your own calendar. Let me know if it’s useful!

I may update this post as the month goes on but for now you’ll find plenty to get into. Including happy hours! Check out the embedded calendar from Merlex Picks for details on each event.

Did you see my latest post on creative date ideas? How about the one on upcoming concerts for the quarter? Get your tickets now before they sell out!
