HOUSTON –The Houston Livestock
Show and Rodeo on Thursday announced the launch of a new summer festival,
benefiting the Show and allowing Houstonians an enjoyable, refreshing and
entertaining break from the city’s summer heat.
Houston’s Hot Summer Break, July 4–8,
2012, is an all day, five-day music, food, beer, wine and spirits festival,
featuring top chefs and mixologists, shopping, and live music. Held completely inside
Reliant Center, the summer event includes cooking demonstrations, a beer
brewing competition, wine and liquor seminars, and the search for Houston’s
best cocktail, margarita and martini.
Patrons also can explore both floors of
Reliant Center to listen and dance to live concerts featuring country, blues
and jazz music, along with disc jockeys playing a mix of club
music.
“We are thrilled to announce the
development of Houston’s Hot Summer Break,” said Skip Wagner, president of the
Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. “Houstonians love to celebrate and this
festival offers them a really coolway to do so. We look forward
to making it one of the best and most successful events of its kind, offering
attendees the ability to get away without going away!”
Another highlight of the event, a
restaurant-style café, will allow attendees the opportunity to sit and enjoy
creations from several Houston-area restaurants, cafés and diners, including a
wine bar and coffee shop.
Net proceeds generated from Houston’s
Hot Summer Break will directly benefit the mission of the Houston Livestock
Show and Rodeo.
