Join The Floating Art Parade
The Floating Art Parade gets underway at The Woodlands
Waterway Arts Festival on April 4, in conjunction with the opening day
of the festival. The parade features floating art pieces created and
designed by local businesses and organizations. The floats parade down
The Waterway from Town Green Park to The Woodlands Waterway Marriott
Hotel and then parade back towards Town Green Park. The floats remain
moored for public viewing throughout the festival. Participants will not be allowed to ride on the floating art.
Participants
are asked to design and create a float reflecting this year’s theme
“Outer Space.” The best entry receives The Waterway Cup, a unique piece
of art designed by one of the festival artists. Festival jurors vote
for the best entry.
The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival
features more than 200 national and regional artists of various mediums
selling their original creations. Last year approximately 15,000 people
attended the two-day festival, which takes place along The Woodlands
Waterway from The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel alongside The
