Houston Children's Festival 2012

Comments (0) By Olivia Flores Alvarez Thursday, Mar 29 2012

Frommer’s Travel Guides designated the Houston Children’s Festival as one of the World’s 300 Unmissable Events. No wonder, since it’s the largest and, we might add, grandest, festival for kids in the United States. Houston’s 2012 version is so big, it fills several blocks downtown, from Tranquility Park, across City Hall, to Sam Houston Park.
