A Day at Buffalo Bayou - Back by Popular Demand

The day will start with a guided tour of the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern, a former drinking water reservoir built in 1926 for the City of Houston. In 2010, the City of Houston was sourcing vendors to demolish the Cistern. Buffalo Bayou Partnership with the City of Houston worked to take over development and maintenance of the space. BBP restored and repurposed the Cistern into a magnificent public space to house an ambitious program of changing art installations. Next stop, the Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s pontoon tour boat, Spirit of the Bayou. We will take a private charter tour through the heart of downtown along historic Buffalo Bayou past Allen’s Landing, Sesquicentennial Park and Sabine Promenade, historic McKee Street Bridge, and the industrial side of the city. A buy-your-own lunch will be scheduled mid-day.
