This Saturday, July 11, the Gulfton Management District invites the entire community to a day unlike any other. The SER Niños Charter School Parking Lot at 5610 Gulfton St will be transformed into a vibrant hub of culture, safety, food, and family fun — with not one, but two exciting events happening side by side.
The Gulfton Global Market is a free community pop-up market celebrating the diversity, flavor, and energy that make Gulfton one of Houston’s most dynamic neighborhoods. From global food vendors and local artisans to live music and kids’ activities, this is an afternoon designed for the whole family.
What to Expect:
- Global food vendors and local artisan makers
- Live music throughout the afternoon
- Free face painting and balloon art for kids
- Special appearance and meet and greet with @houstonsgotspice
Meet @HoustonsGotSpice
