Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo

If you are visiting Houston for the months of February through March, just go ahead and bring your cowboy hat and boots and plan on going to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. It’s what everyone does! When the Rodeo comes to town (quite literally), the city focuses on it! Traffic becomes super heavy, they have a trail ride the weekend before it opens and you’ll see horses pulling wagons and cowboys throughout the city. The concerts are hand picked every year and they never disappoint. Neither does the food. If you want fried food-you’re in the right place. The HLSR will fry anything. Oreos, ice cream, turkey legs, fruit, etc. You name it. They fry it. And it is delicious.
