With profound dignity and respect, come join and witness The MLK Grande Parade, set for the third weekend in January and one of the largest single-day multicultural events in the U.S. held in honor of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  The procession starts at Midtown Houston and features more than 300 diverse performing groups from across the nation, including 30 award-winning marching bands. Here is a most thorough and weighty opportunity to help promote racial harmony through educational and promotional concepts and ideas through the awareness of oneness and common values culminating in a moment of brilliant and loving solidarity. Change begins with self and the awakening to the real possibility of peace in this great nation.

Beat the heat at Wet 'n' Wild SplashTown, one of the largest waterparks in the U.S. Torpedo down one of the dozens of slides, ride the whitewater rapids raft rides or just relax in a wave pool. There's plenty of attractions for the entire family.

Explore the origins of earth and man at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Awesome displays of dinosaur skeletons, natural gems and other attractions will keep you occupied for hours.

Let your inner Picasso loose at the Mad Potter, a paint-your-own pottery studio. Start with a bare piece of pottery and walk out with a work of art created by none other than you.
