A 75-year tradition, the Downtown Rodeo Parade brings Houstonians and out-of-town spectators together in one of the city's most popular celebrations. Decorative floats intermingle with thousands of men and women on horseback amid skyscrapers and freeways, filling the streets with hoof beats and marching bands. The parade starts at Bagby and Walker streets and ends at Lamar and Bagby.

Staff Sgt. Ty M. Carter, U.S. Army, Medal of Honor recipient, will serve as grand marshal. Click here for the parade route.
