Juneteenth Festivities Abound in Fort Bend County
June 6th, 2008 categories: Houston Events, Off Beat, Sugar Land
On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston County with the news that the war had ended and American slaves had been freed … two and a half years earlier.
Today, Texas citizens celebrate the historic ramifications of Abe Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation with statewide festivities honoring this “Juneteenth” anniversary. Missouri City’s is the largest.
Located southwest of Houston near Sugar Land, this year’s week-long Juneteenth event lineups include live music, cook-offs, dance contests, and historical re-enactments running from Sunday, June 8 to Saturday, June 14, 2008. Celebrations will culminate in a nationally-renowned, long-awaited parade and Gospel Explosion. Full schedule is available courtesy of the following link:

So if you’re searching for fun, family-oriented happenings this week, look no further than Missouri City’s roster of Juneteenth festivities . The celebration is but one of Fort Bend County’s year-long tributes to our community history and diversity.

Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion - The Moody Blues
March 17th, 2008 categories: Houston Events
The Moody Blues are a British rock band originally from Birmingham, England. Founding members Michael Pinder and Ray Thomas performed an initially rhythm and blues-based sound in Birmingham in 1964 along with Graeme Edge and others, and were later joined by John Lodge and Justin Hayward as they inspired and evolved the progressive rock style.
Among their innovations was a fusion with classical music, most notably in their seminal 1967 album Days of Future Passed.
The Moody Blues will be appearing at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion this coming Saturday the 22nd March 2008. Tickets start at $37.50.
