Its finally here! Arriving this Saturday, May 8th, is one of Houston’s most unique events…The 23rd Annual Art Car Parade!

Back in 1987, the amazing parade was founded to promote Houstons diverse and creative art scene by The Orange Show – Center for Visionary Art – along with the Houston International Festival. The goal of the parade is to show how important and integral art is to our lives each and every day.

On Saturday over 250,000 people are expected to attend with over 250 cars lined up making this largest Art Car Parade in the country!  The parade will kick off at 1pm and run along Allen Parkway (between Taft and Bagby) with excellent viewing along the entire route. Also in attendance will be this years Grand Marshall – none other than Conehead, Ghostbuster, and former Blues Brother, Dan Ackroyd!
