Your Guide to August in Houston

If you're new here, welcome! We’ve put together a starter pack for you, with episodes and articles to welcome you to the City Cast Houston community. 

August is all about back-to-school in Houston, but before the kids officially go back, we’re enjoying some fun things to do around H-Town. From outdoor adventures to unique art experiences, every Houstonian should check out these places. Plus, August is National Wellness Month and there are so many fun (and free!) activities to explore around the city. And to cool off from the summer heat, we also have some cold treats you need to try! 

If frozen desserts aren’t your thing, we put together a guide of the best unique candies in Houston. From the viral Dubai chocolate bar to chamoy treats, Houston’s candy game is one of the best!
