Due to immigration in the United States history, the culture of Texas
has been a melting pot of different cultures around the world. Texas is
a diverse and an international place to live, in part because of its
many academic institutions and strong biomedical, energy, manufacturing
and aerospace industries.
There are many popular events held in Texas celebrating cultures of
Texans. The annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo that is held over
20 days from late February through early March. The event begins with
trail rides that originate from several points throughout the state,
all of which convene at Reliant Park for a barbecue cook-off. The rodeo
includes typical rodeo events, as well as concert performances from
major artists and carnival rides. The Fort Worth Livestock Show and
Rodeo lasts three weeks in late January and early February. It has many
traditional rodeos, but also a cowboy rodeo, and a Mexican rodeo in
recent years that have a large fan base for each. The State Fair of
Texas is held in Dallas each year at Fair Park.
Texas has a vibrant live music scene in Austin boasting more music
venues per capita than any other U.S. city, befitting the city's
official slogan as The Live Music Capital of the World. Austin's music
revolves around the many nightclubs on 6th Street and an annual film,
music, and multimedia festival known as South by Southwest. The
longest-running concert music program on American television, Austin
City Limits, is videotaped on The University of Texas at Austin campus.
Austin City Limits and Waterloo Records run the Austin City Limits
Music Festival, an annual music and art festival held at Zilker Park in
Austin.
Arts and theatre
Known for the vibrancy of its visual and performing arts, the Houston
Theater District—a 17-block area in the heart of Downtown Houston—is
ranked second in the country (behind New York City) in the number of
theatre seats in a concentrated downtown area with 12,948 seats for
live performances and 1,480 movie seats.
Houston is also one of only five cities in the United States with
permanent professional resident companies in all of the major
performing arts disciplines (the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston
Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Ballet, and The Alley Theatre). Houston
is widely recognized as the nation's third most important city for
contemporary visual arts.
Dallas and Fort Worth serve as epicenters of the North Texas region's
art scene. The Modern (formerly the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth),
founded in 1892, is the oldest art museum in Texas. The city is also
home to the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum, the National
Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and
the Bass Performance Hall downtown. The Arts District of Downtown
Dallas is home to several arts venues. Notable venues in the district
include the Dallas Museum of Art, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony
Center, The Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art, and
the Nasher Sculpture Center.
Also within Dallas is the notable Deep Ellum district which originally
became popular during the 1920s and 1930s as the prime jazz and blues
hotspot in the Southern United States. The name Deep Ellum is thought
to have originally derived from local tongues saying "Deep Elm", but
that came out as "Deep Ellum". Artists such as Blind Lemon Jefferson,
Robert Johnson, Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, and Bessie Smith played
in original Deep Ellum clubs like The Harlem and The Palace. Today,
Deep Ellum is home to hundreds of artists who live in lofts and operate
in studios throughout the district alongside bars, pubs, and concert
venues. One major art infusion in the area is the city's lax stance on
graffiti, thusly several public ways including tunnels, sides of
buildings, sidewalks, and streets are covered in murals.
Sports
Texas is known for its love of American football and is noted for the
intensity with which people follow high school and college football
teams—oftentimes dominating over all else for the purposes of
socializing and leisure. The Dallas Cowboys are often referred to as
"America's Team." The Houston Oilers left to become the Tennessee
Titans, but the Houston Texans took their place.
Baseball is also very popular in Texas, with Major League Baseball
teams the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros equally popular in the
state, as North Texas, West Texas, and Panhandle residents are
predominantly Rangers fans, while Southeast Texas, Central Texas, and
South Texas is predominantly inhabited by Astros fans. Minor league
baseball is also closely followed.
Other popular sports in Texas include golf (which can be played
year-round because of the South's mild climate), basketball (the state
has three NBA teams, the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Dallas
Mavericks), fishing, and auto racing. Lacrosse, originally played by
some of the indigenous tribes, is a visible sport and growing. Soccer
is a popular participatory sport—especially among children—but as a
spectator sport, it does not yet have a large following despite two
Texan teams in Major League Soccer. Hockey has been a growing
participatory sport in the Dallas/Fort Worth area since the Minnesota
North Stars became the Dallas Stars in 1993. Minor league pro hockey
has become quite popular in the last decade; Texas is home to eight of
the Central Hockey League's seventeen teams. Texas is also home to the
Houston Aeros and San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League and
the Texas Wildcatters of the ECHL.
Seven times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is from Austin, Texas.
