Through our partnership with Houston Independent School District (HISD), students from participating schools proudly pedal and accompany their art bikes along the parade route, as families and community members cheer them on from the sidelines. 

​

We also welcome you, your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors, to design and create an Art Bike of your own. Anyone and everyone can participate, as we celebrate diversity through artistic interpretations of how the outdoors connect us - embracing our health, our environment, our families, our friends, our civic pride, and our creativity.
