24 | Downtown Rodeo Parade with HLSR (Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo)

Rodeo Parade with HLSR DETAILS

From the organizer:

Since 1938, the nation’s fourth largest city is transformed from a bustling metropolis to a down-home celebration of Western heritage. Decorative floats intermingle with thousands of men and women on horseback to fill the streets with hoof beats and marching bands. Enthusiastic Houstonians join out-of-town spectators to line the streets and sidewalks to be involved in one of Houston’s most popular celebrations!
