Main Street Drag 9:30 am to 1 pm The Children's Museum 1500 Binz Call the Orange Show at (713) 926-6368 |
Parade participants meet at The Children's Museum then divide up into convoys to travel throughout Houston. These convoys make pit stops at hospitals, schools, community centers and various assisted living centers - in essence to bring the parade to those who may not be able to see it any other way. | |
|

Artists, scholars and "assorted cultural icons" get together each year at the Art Car Symposium to share ideas about the art car phenomenon. This year, the symposium features Roger Cormon, "King of the B Movies" leading the discussion "The Car is the Star." Seating is very limited, reservations are a must. | |

Art Car Parade 11:30 am to 1:30 pm Downtown Houston Parade Route Call the Orange Show at (713) 926-6368 |
Parade participants begin lining up for the parade on Saturday morning along Allen Parkway around 9:00 am. At 11:30 am, the parade starts to roll through downtown Houston. The best viewing area is generally right at the beginning along Allen Parkway where the crowds are manageable and you don't have to pay to get into the Houston International Festival grounds. | |
|
Art Car Celebration 1:30 pm to 7 pm Eleanor Tinsley Park Allen Parkway |
The Art Car Celebration is a new event this year, a "redesigned Art Car Ball," that happens right after the parade! It is an old fashioned outdoor picnic like no other featuring live music, good food and lots of good times in a crazy carnival atmosphere. You can even see which car will take the top prize of $1500 at the Awards Ceremony from 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm. | |
