HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Art Car Parade is one of Houston’s most unique events, celebrating art and creativity.<\/p>\n

“Art Car is just weird, and what could be more weird than nature?” asked a staff member with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.<\/p>\n

The TPWD is joining the parade this year with their entry “Better Outside.”<\/p>\n

In the video above, staff members show us how they are turning a truck into a showcase for the different recreational activities Texans can enjoy at state parks.<\/p>\n

You can see their final design at the 39th annual Houston Art Car Parade<\/a>, presented by Team Gillman.<\/p>\n

ABC13 will live stream the parade starting at 2pm on Saturday, April 11.<\/p>\n
