Tuesday, 28 May, 2024 0

Houston, the fourth largest city in the US, has an eclectic arts and culture scene expanding beyond the Theatre and Museum Districts.

Visitors to H-Town can unlock a variety of cultural experiences from food, entertainment and the artistic endeavors of its diverse communities.

Discover the New Houston Signature Experiences: Five unique experiences that speak of Houston’s cultural diversity.

In addition to the existing Experience Houston Marketplace, the popular platform with offerings that include attractions, guided tours and even multi-day passes for museums and local breweries, the new Houston Signature Experiences provide visitors with five carefully curated immersive experiences.

To celebrate Houston’s cultural diversity, the new experiences are provided by Black-owned small businesses. These stories behind the Houston Signature Experiences invite you to listen and learn from each one.
