Art Car Parade in Houston, TX

The largest Art Car parade in the world is annual event here in Houston. The weather was beautiful on Saturday. Heard one observation from a young man standing behind me, "I didn't know Houston was so progressive." My kids and I moved here in 1983 and thought it was the United Nations, most neighborhoods being very multi-cultural. Houston celebrates with many events, the art car parade, art shows and international fests.
