Rice Village is a great place to get fun treats, such as this giant churro from The Loop Handcrafted Churros.

Art of many forms and mediums, such as this booth filled with pottery, was on display at the Bayou City Art Festival.

The best part about off campus events is off campus food, like this basket of brisket fries from the Bayou City Art Festival.
