Garba in Houston: Your Navratri 2026 Guide
Texas-sized Garba on one of the largest indoor floors in the South.
Navratri 2026 runs from October 11 to 20, and Houston is gearing up for nine nights of raas. Everything is bigger in Texas, and Houston's fast-growing Gujarati community has turned the city into a major stop on the national circuit.
The main floor
Much of the season centers on the NRG Center, with the Houston Navratri Committee among the organizers shaping the nightly lineups. Expect a mix of traditional taali Garba early in the evening and higher-energy live sets as the night builds.
Getting tickets
Nightly passes typically run $40–$150, with premium celebrity nights higher, and most organizers offer multi-night bundles plus a group discount for parties of ten or more. Browse and book every Houston night on Rameelo.
For a deeper local breakdown — venues, parking, and which nights to prioritize — Rameelo's editorial team maintains a full Houston Garba guide.
Plan your night
Doors usually open around 7 PM but the floor rarely fills before 10. Wear broken-in footwear, hydrate, and save something for the midnight raas — that's when Houston is at its best.
