HLSR Trail Riders Visit Memorial Park

Location

6501 Memorial Dr Houston, TX 77007

PRESERVING A PIECE OF HISTORY:

The Houston Trail Riders tradition began in 1952 when riders traveled from Brenham to Houston to promote the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Now, there are 11 Trail Ride groups that come from across Texas and converge in Houston to celebrate and commemorate Texas history.

All 11 groups meet along the historic trail route in Memorial Park to camp and wait for every rider to arrive. Then, the groups ride together in one processional parade to the rodeo fairgrounds.

More event information is available on the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Trail Riders page.
