The FIFA World Cup. Just the name conjures images of roaring crowds, legendary goals, and the world’s best athletes competing for the ultimate prize in soccer. In 2026, this global spectacle is coming to North America, and Houston is proud to be one of the host cities. Various countries will be competing, bringing together diverse cultures and fans from around the globe.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Just saying the name sparks images of buckin’ broncos, sizzling barbecue pits, and an entire city coming together in cowboy boots to celebrate its Texan heritage. For many Houstonians—and for visitors looking for that authentic Lone Star experience—this multi-week extravaganza is the ultimate highlight of the year.

The first time I stepped foot in the NRG Stadium parking lot, I was blown away by the energy—smoke rising from barbecue pits, fans tossing footballs in every direction, music pumping from portable speakers, and that unmistakable sense of Texan pride permeating the air.

When I first moved to Houston, I was determined to experience everything this city has to offer—Texans games at NRG Stadium, high-energy concerts at Toyota Center, and even the occasional Astros showdown at Minute Maid Park. But as a newcomer, one thing immediately became clear: attending all these events can get expensive.

When I first moved to Houston, I wasn’t quite prepared for the city’s sheer passion for live events.

Sports are woven into the cultural fabric here: whether you’re decked out in a Texans jersey at NRG Stadium, indulging in a hot dog at Minute Maid Park, or feeling your heart pound in sync with the crowd at Toyota Center, there’s an energy that’s impossible to ignore. Over the years, I’ve cheered through nail-biting NFL games, jumped for joy at walk-off homers, caught jaw-dropping concerts, and even embraced rodeo nights.
