Join the fun at the Grand “re-Opening” of Levy Park with an all-day event that promises something for the entire family. Check out this amazing urban park which should prove to be a destination for families from throughout the metropolitan area, as well as out-of-town visitors. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner will be in attendance for the ribbon cutting ceremony to kick off the celebrations, which begins at 10 a.m. and end at 7:30 p.m. The day will culminate in a live music performance by a high-profile band on the Pavilion stage at 6 p.m.

At the celebration, expect to see programming that covers a wide range of areas: health and fitness, food and horticulture, performing arts, poetry and spoken word, literacy, natural science, animal rescue. You can hear a piano concert, experience face painting, interactive displays, workshops with local organizations, gardening demos, food trucks, dance, yoga, and much more. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Pets on leash are welcome. The event is rain or shine.

Street parking is available on Wakeforest Avenue and Eastside Street, and garage parking is available at 2925 Richmond (entrance on Richmond) for $2/hour.
