5 Ways to Beat the Heat in Houston This Weekend

If you thought it was hot Friday in the Houston area, get ready: heat and humidity will continue to build throughout the weekend, and our “feel” temperatures will be in the range of 100 degrees.

So we put together this list of 5 ways to beat our extreme heat on Saturday and Sunday, before the next storm arrives on Monday. Stay safe out there!

1. Enjoy a frozen adult beverage at one of Houston’s most iconic breweries

🗓️ June 8: 30th Anniversary Party at Saint Arnold Brewing Company

Celebrate 30 years of Texas’ oldest craft brewery with an all-day party. Enjoy performances by Kam Franklin, Devin the Dude, Robert Ellis and Fat Tony, plus food, drinks, commemorative glassware and merchandise.

📍 Saint Arnold Brewery

💵 Price: $15 and up (Limited parking leashes: $20)

🕒 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.

2. Dive inside to see a performance of a classic American thriller

🗓️ Until June 30: dial M for murder

Discover a sharp new adaptation of the classic thriller “Dial M for Murder”. Watch Tony plot to have his wife Margot killed after discovering his affair. Expect a tangle of motivations including money, fear, jealousy and revenge. Note: This performance includes depictions of violence and discussions of domestic violence.

📍 Meredith J. Long Theater Center, 615 Texas Avenue

💵 Prices vary depending on the performance

3. Enjoy free water fun at Discovery Green

It’s a Houston classic: splashing in the 14-foot-tall arching jets of Discovery Green’s Gateway Fountain.

Fountain hours are Monday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Swim diapers are required for infants and toddlers, and water shoes are strongly encouraged. Click here for a complete list of park rules.

4. Head to the beach

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, pack up the kids and drive the 51 miles to Galveston. Its accessible beaches with soft sand and welcoming waves are a favorite of Texas families. And there are plenty of activities and amenities on land as well.

Just make sure you swim safely: there are things hiding in the water. 🔽

5. Stay inside and watch other people practice on KPRC 2
