Art Car Parade History
What
began in 1988 with 40 decorated vehicles and a handful of onlookers
is now the Worlds Largest and Oldest Art Car Parade. The event
features over 250 Art Cars, 200,000 plus live spectators and
media from all over the world, making Houston ground zero of
an international phenomenon.
Scores of lowrider, classic cars, costumed rollerskaters, musicians
on floats, art bicyclists, hot-rodders, and hard-to-classify
rolling contraptions join in and shine in the spotlight. More
