Things to do in Houston: Weekend rap battle and sandcastle sculptures take over Galveston
HOUSTON, Texas -- This weekend, locals are invited to sweat it out, but in the confines of an innovative new gym. Film fans can flock to a classic outdoor thriller screening at Buffalo Bayou Park, while the city celebrates hip-hop's 50th anniversary downtown.
Look for art shows, a horror movie fest, a celebration of reggae and more. And those looking to bloom can hit Houston's hottest plant shop for prosecco, partying, and of course, that plant life.
Enjoy! Here are your best bets for the weekend.
Plants & Prosecco at The Plant Project Houston
Fresh off her second, blooming Plantchella festival (a must-attend, three-day celebration), plant princess Bree Iman Clarke is back with her buzzy Plants & Prosecco party.

As the Plant Project is all cultivating community, visitors are encouraged to mix, mingle, shop, and get their green thumb on in a lush shop full of good vibes. Noon to 3 p.m.
The sixth annual Houston Reggae Fest is set and ready for more vibes.
