Blanket Bingo at Market Square Park

The bustling center of Downtown Houston’s Historic District, Market Square Park is a great neighborhood space anchored by a central lawn where Houston’s City Hall once stood. A crescent-shaped dog run on the park’s west side gives four-legged friends an attractive place to let loose while a beautifully lit fence and walkway arc through the park, providing insight into the area’s history. Combining live entertainment and shady walkways, Market Square Park is reminiscent of another era where neighbors gathered and enjoyed the space they call home. Visitors also can mediate in Lauren’s Garden, a memorial honoring Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas, a passenger on United Flight 93; with its flowing water, beautiful sculpture, seasonal flowers and leafy trees, the garden memorializes all lost on September 11. Market Square Park‘s popular summer pastime "Blanket Bingo," is a monthly entertainment series in which residents and visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy a night filled with music, fun and bingo.
