The Cultural Arts District creates unique experiences for each individual based on their connection and history with the 5th Ward. The focus of the District is not simply the types of art it produces or sponsors, but rather how it makes the people who engage with it feel. Public art, community branding, and other projects will deepen residents' and visitors' connections with the 5th Ward and with one another.
The Lyons Avenue Renaissance Festival celebrates the history, art, culture, and current revitalization of Houston's historic 5th Ward. This event attracts thousands of residents and visitors every year and includes musical performances, a helicopter egg drop, face painting, and other family-friendly activities for the public to indulge in.
