Three weeks of celebration at NRG Park every year from late February to mid-March: the free livestock show barns have cattle, sheep and pigs, chicks hatching and cow milking, AGventure and Fun on the Farm teach little kids about farm life, and outside is a giant carnival with fried-everything snacks, plus big-name concerts at night. Houston kids' biggest holiday of the year.
