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

Stay tuned for a list of weekly and monthly events coming soon (I said this last month but I lied). I’ve also updated my concert list for the quarter with A LOT of good shows. If you’re into Ta-Nehisi Coates and Colson Whitehead you need to buy Inprint tickets this month before they sell out!

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!
