Bayou City Art Festival

Since its grassroots beginnings more than 40 years ago, the Bayou City Art Festival has grown to become one of America's most diverse and prestigious arts and crafts celebrations, drawing artists and artisans from around the world to its spring and fall festivals while raising millions to benefit nonprofit arts efforts throughout the Houston area.

Each year, festival patrons gather downtown in the fall and at Memorial Park in the Spring to browse booths, check out the dozens of musical and performing arts acts on one of the festival's many stages, and take in the festival's energized but carefree atmosphere. There's truly something for everyone in the family-friendly series of events.

And whether you're planning on attending the fall or spring festivals - or both - selecting the right luxury hotel accommodations in Houston is essential. The InterContinental Houston, located near the world-famous Houston Galleria shopping complex, sits just minutes both from downtown and Memorial Park while still boasting easy access to the dozens of world-class restaurants and shops located throughout the Galleria and Uptown Houston area, giving you the best of both worlds at festival time and throughout the year.

To make your festival experience even better, contact the InterContinental Houston at 1-800-316-8645 and start planning your stay at Uptown Houston's premier upscale hotel.
