Houston Art Car Parade

Today, the Houston Art Car Parade is the highlight of a four-day celebration of the drive to create, Houston Art Car Parade Weekend.

​

• The parade attracts 250+ vehicles and other entries from 23 states along with Canada and Mexico

• A live audience of some 250,000+ spectators

• Parade entries include anything on wheels from bicycles and  unicycles to lawnmowers to cars and go-carts

• Entries are as likely to be made by members of the general public as by recognized artists

​​

Community groups, public and private schools, and professional organizations have become regular participants. Inspired by what they see, spectators create art cars of their own and often become future participants. And as the parade grows, attracting more and more participants, the complexity and quality of the entries increases.
