Memorial Park Conservancy, along with presenting sponsor H-E-B, invite the community to celebrate Lunar New Year during Live at Live Oak, an outdoor music event on January 25.

Following the celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month in September and Diwali in October, this concert will mark the third event in our four-part music series. Each event is dedicated to a different cultural holiday, highlighting the rich diversity of our community.

The Live at Live Oak Lunar New Year celebration will feature a live performance by Unity Dragon and Lion Dance Troupe, a Houston nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals to learn, promote, and celebrate the art and culture of dragon dance, lion dance, and martial arts.

Indulge in complimentary treats, available on a first-come, first-served basis, and snag giveaways, while supplies last! Additional food items will be available for purchase.

Golf course

July 18, 1934

The Works Progress Administration puts over 500 men to work on building the golf course. Landscape architect John Bredemus called it “my greatest golf course ever.” The adjacent clubhouse becomes a place to see and be seen. Green fees were 35 cents on weekdays and 50 cents on weekends.
