The Art Car Parade: Houston’s Strangest Point of Civic Pride

Art Car Weekend peaks Saturday when the 35th Annual Houston Art Car Parade rolls through downtown. The giant rolling chicken will be there — not to mention lowriders, slabs, the enormous roach, the car with a beaded foam Steve Ray Vaughan on top, and a new “Rising Strong” mechanical phoenix.

Today, art-car artist Rebecca Lowe joins Lisa Gray to tell her all about it.

Here’s a complete schedule of Art Car Weekend events!
