Things to Do in Bellaire

The team at Alex Brazil Marketing & Promotions knows that getting a party started is an ever-evolving art. Sometimes, it requires aerial acrobats, other times, it requires a cash balloon drop. It all depends on the event being celebrated, which for the Houston-area event planners, can range from Halloween to the New Year's Eve Ball to Brazil’s Carnaval. The staff also pride themselves on creating heightened anticipation for any party they throw, ensuring a high-energy event packed with people. And to keep the energy flowing, their vibrant parties delight revelers with the sights and sounds of samba dancers, live music, and snake charmers who always perform with real reptiles, rather than snake-shaped pipe cleaners.

Come February, thousands of runners and spectators will migrate to Sam Houston Park for the Houston Rhythm and Blues Half Marathon and 5K. Like many marathons and 5K races, this event raises money for local charities and entertains runners with postrace festivities. What distinguishes this particular race from other races, however, is the route: it's lined with R & B bands from throughout Texas. Whether you're running for fun or shooting for a PR, dressing up is encouraged, and prizes will be awarded to participants with the best R & B costumes.
