HOUSTON – July has arrived, and in Houston, that means one thing: It’s time to gear up for the city’s favorite unofficial holiday — 713 Day.
Inspired by Houston’s iconic area code, July 13 is when locals come together to show off their H-Town pride and celebrate everything that makes this city unique — from its food scene to its sports teams and vibrant culture.
Do713, the go-to online platform for discovering the best of Houston from concerts to pop-ups, has teamed up with local organizations to create a jam-packed lineup of low-cost or free events. This year, they are transforming this one-day celebration into a weeklong party with music, food collaborations and trivia.
The festivities kick off tonight with a scavenger hunt, leading up to a free block party on July 13. Whether you’re a native Houstonian or new to the city, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Check out the full lineup in the picture below and follow Do713 on Instagram for updates.
