What to Do in Houston in January: Activities, Outings, and Wellness
Starting the year in Houston means enjoying a mild winter and a vibrant city full of cultural and festive events. For French and Francophone expats, January is the perfect time to explore, discover, and set new intentions while also allowing moments of well-being.
Join the Winter Festivals
Houston kicks off the year with a variety of cultural events, such as the Houston Black Heritage Festival, along with concerts and shows in the city’s major venues. The musical and artistic lineup is especially rich from the very first days of January.
Explore Museums and Exhibitions
With cooler temperatures, January is the perfect month to discover or rediscover Houston’s cultural institutions: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, or Space Center Houston are ideal for immersive days.
Enjoy the Mild Weather Outdoors
Unlike other U.S. cities, Houston enjoys a pleasant winter. Expats especially appreciate strolling through Buffalo Bayou Park, biking along urban trails, or visiting the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center.
Discover Texan Cuisine
January is also a great opportunity to try new culinary spots. Houston is known for its gastronomic diversity: Texan barbecue, Cajun cuisine, and a rich international food scene that reflects the city’s multiculturalism.
Start the Year with Fresh Energy
After the holiday season, January is the time for good resolutions: fitness, healthy eating, and new wellness routines. It’s the perfect period to establish positive and balanced habits.
