Actor Dan Aykroyd will be Grand Marshall of the 23rd Annual Houston Orange Show Art Car Parade, on Saturday, May 8. Local Cy Fair artists have created Art Cars just for this event! The Art Car Parade will begin at 1 p.m., is free to the public and will start at the corner of Houston’s Allen Parkway and Taft and ends at Montrose. The best viewing is along Allen Parkway from Montrose to Bagby.

Cars will be made to look like fighter jets, plants, trees, trucks, and more in this famous Houston parade, and the Cy Fair artists have exceptionally prepared their entries for this year’s parade. For example, the Garrett’s from Cy Fair have prepared a moving peacock; Michael Lawrence has created a “Dragon Wagon” from a radio flyer wagon; Daniel Norstrom will present a fusion of Cadillac’s and flowers made from water bottles – none of which are to be missed! Several local Cy Fair charities also have entries.

If you’ve never seen the Art Car Parade, this Saturday, May 8, is your opportunity to experience something very unique to Houston—and to support your local Cy Fair artists, as well!
