No matter your vibe, Houston is buzzing with energy this week, and the city’s events calendar is absolutely stacked. For gemstone lovers, make your way to NRG Center today, where the International Gem and Jewelry Show wraps up with a dazzling array of diamonds, pearls, vintage treasures, designer accessories, and all things sparkly. The show is open until 5 pm and is a rare chance to shop directly from leading wholesalers and designers, ensuring you find everything from engagement rings to made-for-you custom jewelry. Children under 9 are not permitted, and parking is in the Red Lot at Gate 10.

If monster trucks get your motor running, Monster Jam is also roaring into NRG Park tonight, bringing the wild stunts and high-flying action fans crave. Expect the world’s top trucks and drivers at 7 pm, with tickets starting around 30 dollars. Houston on the Cheap highlights this as one of the week’s can't-miss spectacles.

For anyone seeking free Halloween fun, don costumes and visit the Traders Village Trick or Treat Trail. Both Saturday and Sunday, you can wander creatively decorated paths, meet roaming characters, and load up on candy with no entry or parking fees. Just southwest of downtown, Discovery Green hosts Igbofest Houston from 3 pm to 10 pm on Saturday—a lively celebration featuring authentic Nigerian cultural performances, folklore, and dance. Admission kicks off at 19 dollars, but the memories are priceless. Also at Discovery Green today, families can dive into the Houston Pumpkin Festival, offering farm-style games and plenty of photo ops in the heart of downtown.

Sunday evening, fans of live music will want to head to the Toyota Center for the Jonas Brothers’ “JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown” concert, kicking off at 7:30 pm and promising all the hits and nostalgia, according to Live Nation. If Halloween tunes are more your style, Katy Vibes welcomes the Katy All-Star Singers for a Sunday 6:30 pm Halloween Rock Concert in the west Houston suburb, where you can grab dinner, drinks, and a rocking good time.

For foodies, it’s still Houston Restaurant Weeks, with nearly 400 restaurants citywide offering special menus and raising funds for the Houston Food Bank. It’s the perfect excuse to discover new flavors and support a good cause.
