Thirteen acres at 1001 Market Street where Baytown does its big civic days: July 4th Extravaganza, Juneteenth, Grito Fest. Walking trail, outdoor theater, picnic shelters, the Fireman’s Memorial, Veteran’s Plaza. Lee College sits across the street, which is why the city’s own festival advice is to park there.
On a quiet Tuesday it’s a park. On October 3 it’s the whole city. Handicap parking at the Performing Arts Center. Parks: (281) 420-6597. Leave the drones, the glass, and the BBQ pits at home on festival nights — they mean it.
