The Buffalo Bayou Park will host its grand opening on October 3. The Park has been transformed with new running and bike paths, a dog park, a nature play area, and t
he Dunlavy at Lost Lake. For the past several weeks a workshop has invited Houstonians to help build lanterns for a processional to help celebrate the completion of the Buffalo Bayou Park. The ideas for the lanterns were generated in community sessions with astounding results. The procession of lanterns will begin at four distinct points in the Park before converging in a mix of color, sound, and images to represent the diversity and perpetual motion of the city. Read more about the ideas behind the lanterns and the project
