It looks like the city is doing the normal fireworks show this year. Where are the best places to park downtown to watch it? The website says: “The fireworks show starts sometime around 9:30pm. The best views will be those that have a clear line of site to the skies above Eleanor Tinsely Park and Buffalo Bayou, immediately west of Downtown.” Thanks!
PSA: Don't stop in the middle of the road on I-45 and then get upset when someone rams you from behind at 60mph. I'm kind of pissing in the wind, though, because I guarantee you 45's going to be blocked off by parked morons thinking it's a great place to watch the fireworks. It happens every f'ing year, and if I could get away with murdering everybody who does it with my bare hands with impunity, I wouldn't think twice and would cackle with glee as the life drained from their eyes.
watching anywhere on Buffalo Bayou east of Taft will have great views For paid parking in downtown garages, you will have about a 20 min walk to get west of Sabine (which is beginning of Tinsley Park), but it’s a pleasant walk if you know how to get to the bayou path from Hobby Center. For street parking along buffalo bayou, you’ll be competing with people who are going to picnic for several hours beforehand. Same with neighborhoods in Taft area. but if I were to try for street parking, I’d park where I park when going to the Cistern meditation on Saturdays — N Memorial Way, close to Houston Ave courthouse. Then take that fairly secret pedestrian bridge over Memorial, which drops you on Sabine St. there’s not much parking on N Memorial Way itself, but the whole Old 6th Ward is close to that pedestrian bridge, bounded by Memorial, Sawyer, Washington and Houston Ave. Good luck.
