The Houston Rodeo is roping in the crowds starting next Tuesday, Feb. 27, and won't let up until March 17. According to the Houston Public Media, things are already heating up with the Rodeo Roundup and Go Texan Day, alongside the annual World's Championship Bar-B-Que Competition.

You might want to skip the traffic headache and saddle up for a ride on the MetroRail, or hoof it to one of the Park & Ride lots and catch a shuttle, as explained by the Houston Chronicle. There's also The Woodlands Shuttle, which requires a reservation, a bargain at $13 round-trip.

NRG Park is slinging out multiple lots for parking including the Yellow, 610, and OST 1 lot with public parking going for $25 a pop, but if you're sporting a handicap placard or registration, ADA parking in the Blue and Yellow lots is ready and waiting again, for $25 but get there early, it's first-come, first-served. If your boots prefer a ride, the rodeo's got you covered with Uber, Lyft, taxis, and even limo drop-off and pick-up zones detailed in the Houston Chronicle report.

The performers. Blake Shelton's charm and tunes are set to dazzle on opening night, followed by a range of artists from 50 Cent to Los Tigres Del Norte, making sure every day of this extravaganza vibrates with beats as diverse as Texas itself. The star-studded lineup was confirmed by the Houston Public Media, ensuring that when you're not gripping the edge of your seat for barrel racing, bull riding, or steer wrestling, you'll be tapping your toes to some world-class melodies.
