Houston School Fair at Minute Maid Park

The Houston School Fair, now an annual highlight in the community, is set to take place on January 18, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Minute Maid Park, home to the Houston Astros. This exciting event is not just about education; it’s about connecting families with a plethora of school options in a fun-filled atmosphere.

A Day Full of Opportunities

Families are welcomed to explore an array of educational choices for their children, spanning from traditional public schools to charter institutions, magnets, private options, and online learning. With over a thousand parents, students, and school representatives in attendance, the fair aims to celebrate school choice in a way that is accessible and enjoyable.

At the event, families can interact directly with schools such as KIPP Texas Public Schools, YES Prep Public Schools, Etoile Academy Charter School, and The Varnett Public School. Additionally, organizations like the Houston Food Bank - School Programs will also be present to assist families in finding the resources they need.

Fun and Engaging Activities

The Houston School Fair is not only informative but also fun for the entire family. Attendees can enjoy unique attractions like batting cages, face painting, balloon twisting, and a chance to take a memorable photo with Orbit, the mascot of the Houston Astros. Complimentary snacks will keep everyone energized as they explore the various booths.

An Inclusive Experience

In recognition of Houston's diverse community, information and assistance will be provided in both English and Spanish throughout the event. This commitment to accessibility ensures that all families feel welcome and can make the most of the resources available to them.
