Transplants from the Northeast will be glad to know that even though you won't see festivities on the order of what you'd see in Manhattan on Columbus Day, Houston is a great place to be on Columbus Day. Just being able to walk around without a sweater on October 12 is a treat in and of itself - here are the places you can go and things you can do sweater-free in Houston on Columbus Day.
Columbus Day Free at the Zoo
A great way to get an introduction to the impressive Houston Zoo. Be sure to get there early in order to beat the heat and beat the traffic. Zoo opens at 9:00 am and closes at 7:00 pm.

The Kemah Boardwalk
The Kemah Boardwalk is open for business and is the place to be for fun, great seafood and views of Galveston Bay. The "Boo on the Boardwalk" will be celebrated the entire month of October replete with scary music, the Haunted House & the Dungeon of Doom and all the good fun that goes along with our spirited hosts on the boardwalk. Did I mention great seafood fresh from the Gulf?
