Sure, you’ve probably heard of Christmas in July but what about Christmas in April? Celebrate the holidays, or even just the warming temps, at the Houston Ballet’s annual Spring Nutcracker Market, which is returning in person this month after a year of virtual events.
From April 16 to 18, Houstonians will be able to wander NRG on the hunt for graduation, baby shower, and wedding gifts, not to mention summer and backyard necessities and cute new clothes for when you finally emerge into the real world again (quarantine, are we right?).
Of course, the market will be taking Covid-19 safety precautions, like limited capacity, mask requirements, and health screenings. The number of halls has been increased to accommodate social distancing, and tickets must be bought ahead of time. You can read more about those here.
In the meantime, we got a sneak peek of some of the merchants coming next week.
A native Austinite, Catherine Wendlandt spent almost six years in the Midwest for college and graduate school at the University of Missouri (MIZ). While there, she talked about Texas and missed queso so much she had to come back.
In school, she worked as a city government reporter and page designer for the Columbia Missourian, a communications intern at a local jazz company, a food editor and later the managing editor at Vox Magazine, and a research assistant for the Association of Health Care Journalists. She's worked in Missouri, Dallas, and Barcelona, Spain, and interned for Houstonia in 2018, when she fell in love with everything about the city, except maybe the traffic and mosquitos.
When she's not at work, you can find Catherine curled up reading a good book, out exploring local parks, taking lots of sunset pictures, and trying to pet every dog she sees (in spite of the allergies).
