Programs and activities

In March 2017, Discovery Green entered into a partnership with Houston First to manage programming for the new Avenida Houston Plaza in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center. The goal is to provide both convention visitors and Houstonians a great new downtown destination. Numerous free events, including live music and temporary art installations, were programmed by Discovery Green on the plaza across the street from the park.
