Held annually the first full weekend of March, this festival is fun for all, featuring both activities for kids and attractions for series owl aficionados. The event began in 2003 as a “hatch day” party for Houston’s original celebrity owl, Alice. Since then, it’s grown to attract visitors internationally and to include an abundance of owl-themed food, live owl programs, merchandise and vendors, bus trips, a banquet, and more. Activities take place in a variety of locations around Houston; see the full schedule at https://www.festivalofowls.com/schedule.html
Treat yourself to a weekend of art in galleries and artist studios. Works of art will be available for purchase. Artists will be taking questions and talking about their work. Some will be doing demonstrations.
