The weekend draws to a graceful close, but not before Houston and Galveston offer one more vibrant wave of music, comedy, culture, and community. Weekend Sunday, June 22, 2025 shines with a lineup that blends laughter, live performance, local markets, and rooftop escapes—all designed for those seeking one last spark of connection before Monday returns. From early-morning yoga to evening soul sessions and comedy stages, this Sunday is anything but sleepy.
In the heart of Houston, The Improv wraps its comedy weekend with a powerhouse set from Arnez J, whose animated storytelling and crowd-commanding stage presence turn the club into a full-body laughter zone. Just north, White Oak Music Hall becomes a dual experience: the smooth rap-soul fusion of Akeem Ali echoes downstairs, while upstairs, folk outfit The 4411 delivers introspective harmonies that invite deep listening and quiet joy. Over in Midtown, Rise Rooftop’s breezy Sunday DJ session bathes the skyline in beats and golden light—an ideal place for couples or solo seekers looking to relax above the city.
Downtown’s Toyota Center hosts families for the final day of the NBA Draft Experience, where basketball fans shoot, dunk, and dream in an interactive expo of sports history and high hopes. Meanwhile, House of Blues and Bayou Music Center take the night off after packed weekends but remain charged for their upcoming July events.
Down on the coast, Galveston’s Own Farmers Market welcomes early risers with rows of fresh Gulf produce, handmade breads, local honey, and acoustic melodies that turn Sunday shopping into a sensory experience. The island's calm complements the cultural soul of the mainland, where the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston hosts free bilingual yoga in the Cullen Sculpture Garden—inviting participants to stretch and reflect among modern art under the morning sun.
11:00 AM
Back in Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts offers a serene, sculptural setting for balance and breath. Yoga en Español y Inglés, held within the MFAH’s outdoor sculpture garden, invites participants to move and flow among works by artists like Henri Matisse and Joan Miró. The session welcomes all levels and connects movement, art, and community with meditative elegance.
Begin the morning in Galveston with fresh fruit and coastal charm at the market, or take in mindfulness among modern art at MFAH’s outdoor yoga. As the sun eases west, head into Houston’s music spaces—whether that’s the lush soul of Akeem Ali, the folk poetry of The 4411, or the gut-busting laughter of Arnez J. Then float upward to Rise Rooftop, where cocktails meet city lights and the final breeze of the weekend closes things out in style.
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Morning on the island begins with a community ritual: Galveston’s Own Farmers Market at the historic depot. Under the shade of seaside palms, locals browse handmade bread, honey, coastal produce, and farm eggs while folk musicians strum familiar melodies. The smell of fresh roasted coffee, the sound of neighbors chatting, and the feel of small-town ease make this a Sunday staple.
6:00 PM onward
As the sun lowers over Midtown, Rise Rooftop offers one of the city’s most visually stunning ways to wind down a weekend. Sunday evenings here often feature ambient house or deep soul DJ sets, low-lit cocktail lounges, and a breeze that slides right between skyscrapers. No main stage tonight—just a chic, scenic soundtrack to your last sips of Saturday energy.
This Weekend Sunday, June 22, 2025, Jones Hall transforms into an emotional skyward journey with the Houston Symphony performing Up live. Michael Giacchino’s Academy Award-winning score unfolds in real time while the film projects above—familiar, uplifting, unexpectedly tender. Classic scenes take on new life: the final farewell of Carl and Ellie strikes with fresh depth; Russell’s “Explorer” anthem soars with palpable joy. Under the batons of Juraj Valčuha and Nicholas Buc, the orchestra's nuances are elevated by Jones Hall’s acoustic excellence. Families, nostalgia-seekers, and cinephiles alike will find themselves carried up, carried away, and carried home by the sheer magic of live orchestral film scoring. A perfect antidote to summer heat and modern haste—this is cinematic immersion at its finest.

A gritty indie-rock explosion hits Weekend Sunday, June 22, 2025, when The 4411 take over the Upstairs stage at White Oak Music Hall. From the first chord, it’s pure live energy—standing-room only, all-ages chaos, drums pounding, guitars clashing. The Houston-based quartet channels raw emotion into tight, punchy sets that demand crowd participation. Inside the cashless venue, every riff and drumbeat fuses the audience into one high-voltage moment. Opening acts warm up the stage, but once The 4411 begin, it’s full blast—sweaty, electric, communal. Fans leave buzzing, the adrenaline echoing long after. A must-see for anyone chasing authentic Texas rock.

Downstairs, also on Weekend Sunday, June 22, 2025, Akeem Ali brings his Good Looking Tour swagger to White Oak Music Hall.

This all-ages, cashless stage becomes a close‑quarters showcase for his smooth vocals and sharp lyricism. Each note reflects ambition, love, and youthful reflection—yet every line feels like a one‑on‑one conversation. It’s the kind of late‑night vibe that’s perfect after rock or for those chasing chill soul.
