The event organizers talk up this first in the month Sunday event like this, "We plan on exposing many of the hip hop 
elements such as Mcee battles, breaking workshops, graffiti, live turntablism & more! With this said the Hip Hop flea market will be the main attraction so if you want to build up the collection and score something handpicked just for you then this is the place to be!
Our culture is why the facination of vintage markets have been attracting local collectors, fashionists, artists, self hustlers, and more! People are looking for the next radical piece to add to their wardrobe and a promising experience. Bgirl City and 
Resale Folds wanted to throw a market that is saturated in unique hip hop finds and some of the most intrusive seeking vendors that will create a rare and promising market. We are family friendly, pet friendly, and want to just show you hip hop up close and personal on a positve level!" . . . more on the flea market click here.
A trip to Galveston maybe worth your while to explore Sylvia Milo’s award-winning drama the true, untold story of Nannerl Mozart, the sister of Amadeus. The Other Mozart
A prodigy, keyboard virtuoso, and composer who performed throughout Europe with her brother to equal acclaim, Nannerl’s work and her story faded 
away, lost to history. Described by The New York Times as “strikingly beautiful,” this one-woman drama is based on stories and comments pulled directly from the Mozart family’s humorous and heartbreaking letters. The Other Mozart is a multi-sensual experience that transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight – but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice where, finally, this other Mozart tells her story. This theatre production is Saturday, January 5th, 2019 8:00 @The Grand, Galveston's Opera House.

Children of all ages are invited on weekends to help build an 8-foot wooden dinghy-style boat, help rebuild a 1955 Evinrude 5½ hp classic outboard motor and/or paint in color on our white enamel 8’ pram.

This event is open free of charge to all children who wish to participate. The boat is an 8-foot pram-
style dinghy. All the wood pieces will have already been cut. Assembly is by clamps, glue and screws driven by battery-powered drills. During the show each participating child will be issued a ticket to hold and we will conduct a drawing at the end of the last session to select the winner who gets to keep the finished boat!
The creators of Shen Yun have been saying for years the government of China has to put it mildly frowned on their continuing to present these perfor
mances. But this annual dance spectacle is worth an outing to see. Its this weekend (December 28, 2018) at Jones Hall downtown Houston.
Through the universal language of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture.
