The ACE district’s living room at 213 West Texas. Saturday markets, Friday open mics from late September, Pre-Grito, Christmas on Texas Avenue, and an outdoor ice rink from the day after Thanksgiving through January. If something is happening in historic Baytown, it is happening here.
Oktoberfest has been a Town Square tradition; for 2026 we have it on Friday, October 9 — the night before Nurture Nature — so the two weekends do not eat each other. That date is our placement against the ACE calendar, not a city PDF. Confirm before you tell a group to wear lederhosen.
On a normal Saturday you can park on or just off Texas Avenue. Grito, July 4, the Christmas parade: use Lee College.
