Houston Party in the Park

This is a free community event. All paces welcome! 
The event will take place on Saturday, August 8th, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on the grass just west of the Tennis Center at Memorial Park. Expect a day filled with fun and enjoyment, including free refreshments such as watermelon, Gatorade, beverages, and live music.
