Bayou City Art Festival

The festival is held in Memorial Park in the spring and in Downtown Houston in the fall.

[4] By 1997, the festival debuted as the Bayou City Art Festival at the Memorial Park location for its spring event, and the Westheimer Colony Association had changed its name to the Art Colony Association.

At the crossroads where Westheimer becomes Elgin in Midtown Houston, there is a small plaza where northbound Spur 527 becomes Brazos Street.

Since 2005, Sam Houston Park was the venue of the fall festival due to the reconstruction of Smith Street.

In June 2005, a revival of the former Westheimer Colony Art Festival took place during Gay Pride Weekend.
