It’s sure hot right now, but this summer heat – and summer as a whole – will be over before we know it. In anticipation of fall in Houston, Discovery Green has announced its fall program including the return of Scream On The Green, Dia de los Muertos, and other seasonal favorites!
While it might not seem it right now, autumn is on the horizon. And for Houston, that means mildly cool temperatures. Every fall, Discovery Green, puts on a variety of exciting seasonal events to get Houstonians out and about. Recently, the organization announced its Fall 2024 Programming Lineup.
The Tunnel by BIG ART
Discovery Green is debuting a new interactive art installation this fall beginning Thursday, September 5. Running until Sunday, October 6, The Tunnel is a 12-foot-high structure running 100 feet long mapped out in over 150 LED lights immersing visitors in a vortex of light and sound.
The Tunnel opens on Thursday, September 5, in which Discovery Green will celebrate the unveiling with discussions from its creator, Paul Magnuson of BIG ART. Drinks will also be available.
