“The Biggest Picnic in Texas” in honor of the grand opening of the Land Bridge and Prairie Memorial Park.

HOUSTON — Memorial Park is hosting the “Biggest Picnic in Texas” in honor of the official grand opening of the Kinder Land Bridge and Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Prairie on Saturday.

The community is invited to come and experience the new 100-acre space at a free event running from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The family celebration will feature picnic baskets full of products provided by HEB (free while stocks last) and additional food and drinks for purchase; live music; body art and face painting; self-guided tours of the Land Bridge and Prairie project and much more.

According to the organizer, all ages can immerse themselves in the exploration of the prairies by collecting stamps in the personal passport booklet for a chance to earn special prizes as part of the Great Prairie Adventure.

The interactive experience aims to provide visitors with the opportunity to learn about the largest urban prairie restoration in Texas and the importance of the prairie in the cultural and ecological history of the Gulf Coast.

The Land Bridge and Prairie project is part of the Memorial Park master plan.
