Rev up your engines and join the excitement at the 38th Houston Art Car Parade! This isn’t just any parade; it’s the world’s largest celebration of Art Cars and Houston’s premier free public art event. As we prepare for our annual Fart Car to be in the parade, we invite you to become a sponsor and be part of this spectacular event that draws over 200,000 spectators with over 250 entries from 23 states, including Canada and Mexico.
Sponsor Our Fart Car
Again this year, The Health Museum is rolling out the quirky “Fart Car,” featuring the colon from our Amazing Body Gallery. Become a sponsor on or before March 20, 2025, and get your name on our signature “I Love to Fart” t-shirt, and become a part of this city-wide celebration!
The Health Museum uses the Fart Car to engage the community in a lighthearted way and spread awareness about digestive and colon health. Along the parade route we will interact with parade-goers in discussions about their poop. (We have great, amplified sounds, wear poop heats and “I Love to Fart” t-shirts and toss tootsie-rolls out of the colon).
