21 22 ANNUAL EVENTS

Annual events in Pearland take many forms from family festivals and fun runs to art shows, and open-air concerts. There’s something for everyone in Pearland!

Spring days are ideal for outdoor family events. Pearland Children’s Festival in March is a fun and educational outing for young families. While runners and pet owners anxiously await the Ruff Runner 5K & Yappy Hour.

Pearland is a music lover’s paradise, it’s not unusual to catch national, regional and local performers at outdoor concerts and special events. Concerts in the Park held in May and June showcase different genres from country and rock to pop.

Hugely popular Opry on the Square provides opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy live music and dancing at Spring and Fall concerts.

Pearland celebrates America’s birthday on July 4th with fireworks, parades and marching bands. From August to September an early evening movie at Sunset Cinema drive-in is the perfect end to the day.

Pearland’s small-town feeling comes alive during the fall when cooler temperatures are a welcome change. Several regional artists come together in October for the annual Pearland Art & Crafts on the Pavilion held at the Pearland Town Center.

Pearland Art & Crafts on the Pavilion In early December, Pearland’s annual Hometown Christmas Parade heralds in the Christmas season with themed floats, sparkling lights, marching bands and joyous Christmas music.
