CC's Creole Corner. Boogies BBQ. Gyro King. These are just a few of the local eateries that are in the lineup for this year's 2017 Houston Food Fest. The long list features all different kinds of fares, from classic American burgers to Spanish-inspired tapas. So you're going to want to get to Hermann Square, which is hosting the fest, as soon as the gates open at 12 p.m. on Saturday, August 19th.

That should allow you ample time to move throughout the entire festival, making pit stops at many of the 60-plus vendors who will be on the scene, including purveyors of frosty craft beers. Local bands will also provide the soundtrack for a day of fun. General admission is just $5, and then you pay as you eat and drink.
