Third Annual Bayou Greenway Day Set For April 29

Along Brays Bayou Greenway

Houston Parks Board hosts free, family festival to celebrate city-wide Bayou Greenways 2020 Project

WHAT: Come out and play on your Bayou Greenway!

Join Houston Parks Board for its third annual Bayou Greenway Day, a free outdoor festival on the bayou for the whole family. Experience the beauty of Brays Bayou Greenway while enjoying free activities in MacGregor Park. Bayou Greenway Day is a celebration of Houston’s parks, trails and bayou greenways. One of the most ambitious parks projects in the country, Bayou Greenways 2020 is creating a 150-mile network of connected parks and trails along Houston’s major waterways. The Bayou Greenways connect Houstonians to parks and greenspaces – and one another. All are invited to this event presented by Noble Energy.

During the festival, families can enjoy their bayou by walking, biking, running, strolling, playing and even paddling along Brays Bayou Greenway. Event programming provided by nonprofits, neighborhood organizations and local businesses will include an obstacle course, kayaking, face painting, a guided children’s bike ride, music, food trucks and much more.
