Guests enjoyed live music from Houston area acoustic musicians, Joseph Rauma Duo on Saturday, music from local Americana and Country group, Charlie and the Regrets on Sunday, food carts including signature mocktails and ice cream, the Texas Bubblers with giant bubble demonstrations, a complimentary flower bar to create bouquets, sketch artists, origami lessons, and photos from a 360 degree spinning camera. Attendees also received free memorabilia and a tote bag.

Alex Katz’s mural, titled Flowers, 2022, is hand-painted on a 358 x 105-foot wall on the south side of The Woodlands Waterway Square garage. The mural transforms the northeast corner of Waterway Square, engaging the last remaining inactive streetscape within the one-acre downtown public plaza that serves as a vibrant, walkable urban core in The Woodlands Town Center.
