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 history
Visionary Musician George Clinton came to the Orange Show to
meet the class and the amazing piece of art on wheels created
by students at Waltrip High under the direction of Rebecca Bass
"Atomic Dog: One Nation Under a Groove"
won the top honor in the 2006 Houston Art Car Parade
