About the event
A Celebration of Resilience and Culture
The 5th Ward Cultural Arts District serves as a dynamic cultural hub that honors African American history and creativity, while also embracing and fostering the district’s growing diversity. It is a place where art is integrated into everyday life, reflected in its cuisine, music, and sculptures; its historic buildings and gathering spots like the Deluxe Theater; its iconic stoops, language, and corner jam sessions. The 5th Ward Cultural Arts District is a vibrant center for cultural arts and African American history, supporting its evolving diversity.
The Lyons Avenue Renaissance Festival commemorates the history, art, culture, and ongoing revitalization of Houston's historic 5th Ward. This event draws thousands of residents and visitors annually, featuring musical performances, a helicopter egg drop, face painting, and various family-friendly activities for the public to enjoy.
