H-E-B Holiday Parade
Houston's Thanksgiving Day H-E-B Holiday Parade is a calendar highlight. Around 3000 participants put on a show for 400,000 spectators, kicking off the holiday season with a procession of floats, giant balloons and marching bands through downtown Houston.
Established in 1949, the parade now pulls in hundreds of thousands of spectators and millions of television viewers. Later in the day, the Texas bigger-is-better tradition comes to the fore with the lighting of 80 Christmas trees along Post Oak Boulevard in the city's Uptown section.

It is full of lush green spaces, lakes and bays. Its well-established port has led in part to a thriving business community, which in turn has contributed to Houston's ethnically diverse population. | |
