Art Car Weekend rolls into Houston

One of Houston’s few legitimate claims to fame, the Art Car Parade, rolls down Allen Parkway from Waugh Drive to Bagby St. this Sunday, May 22, from 1-3pm, although the lineup, and the crowds begin at 9am. The Hoopla begins even earlier: tonight it’s the Art Car Ball at the Orange Show; Saturday night there’s a sneak peek at the cars and drivers at Discovery Green Park from 4-10pm. As The Orange Show says:”part folk art, part fine art, part wholly artistic expression of every kind, entirely monumental and thoroughly spectacular!”
