I’ve seen the plans and am very impressed. Are you going to the opening?
Public invited to Blue Bayou bash this Saturday
— reported by KHOU CBS Channel 11The public is invited to a free, city-wide celebration for the grand opening of the new 23-acre, $15 million waterfront park in downtown Houston. Blue Bayou will feature an evening of moonlight, music, films and fireworks. The Sabine to Bagby Promenade runs along the banks of Buffalo Bayou and features jogging and biking trails, lush landscaping and the bayou’s first pedestrian bridge.
The highlight of the Blue Bayou grand opening event will be the illumination of the blue and white lights designed by artist Stephen Korns and international lighting firm L’Observatoire. They will brighten the bridges, trails and water of the park with a blue color scheme changing in tandem with the phases of the moon.
