The invitation is always open in Pearland. Full of southern hospitality, fun activities, and delicious food, we’ve created your weekend itinerary for the perfect summer getaway to Pearland, Texas.

Here’s the plan:

Start by booking a room at Courtyard Marriott. For only $149 per night, it’s the deal you’ve been looking for. Use code SHO for the great rate at checkout.

Plan to get there in time for Friday night’s Concert in the Park, running May 4 – June 29, 2018. Bring a blanket or some chairs and relax to some great outdoor tunes. Food vendors are on site for dinner and a playground and splash pad are available for the kids’ entertainment. The event features a different genre of music each week, but it’s guaranteed to be a blast every time. Check out the full schedule here.

Saturday is the time to check out one or both of the breweries in Pearland. Bakfish Brewing Co. is a micro-brewery open 7 days a week with a large covered patio and a 2,000 square foot tap room. They have food trucks on site, but outside food is welcome. Also local to Pearland is Vallensons’ Brewing Company. Family-owned by Valle with hopes that his two sons will one day work alongside him, hence the pronunciation: Val-N-sons. This is a must-try on your weekend trip because they are only open Friday – Sunday. Fun fact: this isn’t Valle’s full-time occupation; he can be found working hard at the NASA space center during the week and the brewery has become his weekend hobby. Both breweries are family – and dog – friendly so bring the whole crew to enjoy.

Now that you’ve worked up an appetite, head over to Killen’s BBQ. This isn’t just any ordinary barbecue, Killen’s has been named Food Network’s #2 Top BBQ and Texas Monthly’s #Top50BBQ. This is as good as it gets!

Wrap up the day by shopping at some of Pearland’s best shopping. From Mainstream Boutique, Rustique General Store and all the options at Pearland Town Center, you’re guaranteed to find some new must-haves for your closet. Check out more to do in Pearland here.

Before you head home on Sunday, make sure to stop by Pena’s Donut Heaven & Grill. For over 20 years, the Pena’s have been serving fresh donuts to southeast Texas. The donut shop also serves lunch and is the perfect way to wrap up your summer weekend getaway in Pearland.
