Festival Locale
Jones Plaza
600 Louisiana St, Houston, TX 77002
Located in the heart of the Theater District, Jones Plaza has a long history
as downtown Houston's outdoor centerpiece, dating to its construction in
1966. The plaza, one block square across the streets from both Jones Hall
and Alley Theatre in the heart of the Theater District, is bounded on the
north and south by Texas and Capitol Avenues and on the east and west by
Louisiana and Smith Streets. Recent renovations added features such as
pedestrian ramps, a permanent stage, concession facilities and restrooms.
Visitors can enjoy five shade-providing canopies, a fountain and Mexican
sycamore trees.
The principal feature of the makeover is the lowered elevation that
places the main area of the plaza at street level. The improvements include
the installation of pedestrian ramps, permanent staging, Plaza Bistro and
restrooms.
Parking
Parking for Jones Plaza is available in the Theater District Garage located
