Events in Houston this May - Covid-19 Edition

Houston may begin to open back up soon. Restaurants may be able to offer dine-in service again and retail establishments are hoping to open by offering drive-by pick-ups of items for sale. Haircuts by a professional may be a thing sooner than later, though safe practices must be established before these businesses can reopen. In the mean time, there are still plenty of fun events taking place in Houston, and elsewhere, that are online. Here's a list of fun online things you can do in Houston this May.
