ANOTHER WEEKEND, ANOTHER food-focused affair in H-Town — but we're not complaining. There are plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy family-friendly and late-night fun. Here's the rundown!

ENJOY LIVE TUNES There are a few live-music options tonight! Head to One Fifth Southern Comfortin Montrose for a set by Houston-based guitarist and soul vocalist Skinny Kravitz, who takes the mic at 6pm. Meanwhile, EaDo's 8th Wonder Brewery hosts jazz night, with free live music by Houston Ensemble, performed in the beer garden.

PERUSE A PARKED PARADE This year, dozens of Art Cars won't roll through Downtown, with crowds of thousands gathered to spectate. Instead, the Houston Art Car Experience will be parked at the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art's five-acre campus off I-45 near UH tomorrow through Sunday. Here, socially distanced revelers will be able to walk around a maze of showpieces while enjoying a digital self-guided tour. Daytime tickets (10am-5pm) include special performances, children's craft activities, artist discussions and more; a few nighttime tickets remain for Friday, which will see the vehicles illuminated and include live music, wild costumes, drinks and more.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOR... THE WEEKEND! Sweet! Pasadena's annual strawberry festival is back and better than ever. The weekend brings three days of live music, carnival rides, a barbeque cookoff, mud volleyball tournament and, of course, the world's largest strawberry shortcake! Tickets are available for single-day or weekend-long admittance.

FIND FAMILY-FRIENDLY FOODIE FUN For the first time in over a year, Bridgeland resumes its Friday Night Bites events, featuring food-truck fare, live music and outdoor games from 6-10pm. The event promotes Cypress-area small businesses — in the most delicious way. Savor bites by Cuban Spot, Dojo Hibachi and more, and after dinner, chill out with Tiki Ice or sweeten the night with Funnelocity!

DRESS UP, DOWN OR DRAG FOR MOVIE NIGHT The River Oaks Theatre might have left us, but that doesn't mean The Rocky Horror Picture Show has to. Enjoy a live performance of the cult classic film at White Oak Music Hall Saturday at 7pm. Tickets are sold by groups of six or 10, so rally the troops and head out for a night of unbeatable fun.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
