Rounding out the year are the following events, mostly related to the holiday season in some form. I may or may not get around to a New Year’s Eve LOVIEE, I will try my best but time to post to this blog is at a premium right now (I still have at least three recaps that need writing and posting).
Additions and updates will be made as the month goes on. Please check back if you don’t find what you’re looking for.
Continuing This Month
Ice at Discovery Green, Discovery Green Park, see website for hours/days of operation, $10+tax including skate rental. Kinder Lake is transformed into an outdoor ice skating rink. Great for homesick northern transplants, or those who just want an ice skating fix and don’t feel like fighting Galleria area traffic. 11/12-IADG
Houston Ballet presents The Nutcracker, Wortham Center, see website for dates and ticket availability. Tchaikovsky’s timeless ballet has become virtually synonymous with the holiday season. I believe everyone should see this at least once in their lifetime (I have, though it was years ago). 11-NUTCRACKER
