Plan the visit
Anchor the visit to October 9-11
The producer confirms the 2026 Memorial Park festival for Friday through Sunday, October 9-11, with gates open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Use those published hours as the fixed point for the day.
Use the festival transportation plan
The official festival information directs general parking to Delmar Stadium with shuttle service to the festival entrance. Recheck current parking-pass and shuttle details before driving to Memorial Park.
Leave time to actually browse the art
The producer describes a large juried field spanning 19 art disciplines. A short drop-in can miss the point of the event, so allow a broad browsing window before adding other Houston stops.
