Houston Events
Slingshot has firmly established itself as a driving force in Houston's event landscape. From the colorful artistry of Frida Fest to the lifestyle showcase that is Sling Experience, Slingshot has become synonymous with unforgettable experiences in the city.
FRIDA FEST WITH SLINGSHOT
Frida Fest is a monthlong celebration of the esteemed artist Frida Kahlo, taking place across a variety of venues throughout Houston. It’s a rich tapestry of culture, heritage, and history—showcasing diverse talents through art, music, dance, and other artistic expressions.
Just as Frida’s work pushed boundaries, Slingshot embodies a spirit of boldness and innovation. Both inspire a community that thrives on individuality and the desire to stand out—and this shared passion is on full display at the Viva Frida! Art Exhibition. Featuring Slingshot demos, vendors, artisans, and the Frida en Primavera Dinner & Fashion show, it’s a breathtaking display of Houston’s creative community.
SLINGSHOT EXPERIENCE 2023
Sling Experience is the ultimate gathering for Slingshot enthusiasts. It's a four-day long extravaganza that captures the very essence of the Slingshot lifestyle and ownership. And it’s hosted in Houston because the city is home to the largest and most organized Slingshot community in the nation.
At Sling Experience, you'll have the chance to get up close and personal with some of the coolest custom Slingshots in the country as they challenge for prizes. It's also a hub for the biggest and best aftermarket vendors—offering a treasure trove of accessories and modifications all in one place.
Sling Experience is about much more than the machines, though. It’s about making memories. With top-tier entertainment, thrilling competitions, prize giveaways, and organized group rides showcasing scenic and urban Houston, it’s an event that truly shows what it means to live next level.
SLING LIFE SUMMER SATURDAY NIGHT RIDES IN HOUSTON
During the summer months, Slingshot ambassador Storm Mansell hosts organized group rides through the city on Saturday nights. Sling Life Summer Saturday Night Rides are the perfect embodiment of Slingshot culture in Houston: big, bold, and welcoming to all. The cruises are completely free and bring together riders of every level—from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts. It’s a chance for the community to socialize, show off, and make new memories against the backdrop of Houston’s vibrant nightscape.
If you can only make it to one of these cruises, we recommend the season finale. Storm partners with Slingshot Fam Fest to deliver an immersive, family-friendly celebration of Slingshot culture.
