Swing by and enjoy a night of live music from the local crowdpleasers Empire 6, bites from food trucks and local vendors, arcade and lawn games, a roving photo booth, appearances by Houston sports mascots, art cars, startup founders and booths, and a live fireworks spectacular over Midtown that will cap off the week’s celebration.
