"A signature New Years Eve event is a must for downtown"
We were excited to see the city is no longer "event-ed out" and able to put on a New Year's Eve party this year: Gloworama!
Yes, Gloworama. It's a dorky name, but who could resist this "Inaugural New Years Eve Celebration to Glow, Twinkle and Flame in Downtown Houston!"?
The family-friendly event -- with ice skating demonstrations, illuminated art car parade, and a light show on the side of the GRB -- was alcohol-free, but for only $75 or $150, a limited number of VIP tickets were available where revelers could "get their glow on," and enjoy an open bar with hors d’oeuvres.
So, do you think the city has finally come up with an event it can stick with for more than a year or two, that won't be subject to the energy-level of local pols? And, do you think the event was paid for by the sponsors and not the cash-strapped city?
