Summer in Houston is the perfect time to rediscover Midtown Houston, one of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods and a hub for creativity, culture, and community. Whether you’re exploring a new coffee shop, planning an afternoon out, or looking for a place to enjoy dinner and drinks, Midtown offers a full day’s worth of experiences for both visitors and residents.

As summer kicks off and Midtown Houston fills with visitors, community events, and outdoor fun, it’s the perfect time to refresh your safety game plan. Whether you’re enjoying an evening in Bagby Park, attending a community event, or heading out of town for vacation, these simple steps can help keep you, your home, and your vehicle secure.

July in Midtown Houston means long sunny days, cool community vibes, and exciting ways to enjoy the city. Whether you’re looking to chill out with yoga, groove to a summer movie, or dance at Houston’s hottest new day party, Midtown’s public spaces have you covered.

Midtown Houston is kicking off Pride Month with a bold new public art installation at Bagby Park that celebrates the city’s LGBTQ+ history through color, creativity, and community storytelling. The Midtown sign has been transformed into a visual journey that honors cultural landmarks, community icons, and the enduring spirit of inclusion that defines Houston’s queer legacy. 

As part of the Street Safety & Public Realm Enhancements project, the Midtown Management District (MMD) Urban Planning Committee has approved a series of upgrades along the Gray Street Bikeway.

Midtown Houston is a neighborhood on the rise with more people moving in, businesses opening, and parks and public spaces alive with activity. But as Midtown continues to grow, so does the need for consistent, visible public safety.
