The Art Colony Association is proud to announce Lijah Hanley as the Bayou City Art Festival Downtown 2026 Featured Artist! Lijah is a digital photographer from Vancouver, WA and has been telling stories through a lens since he was 13. Now, his photos take you on a journey through the backroads of the American West, where history blends with myths and tales of the modern cowboy. Although his photos teeter on the edge of reality, every image captured is 100% real using only practical effects.

Bayou City Art Festival Downtown does not offer on-site parking. However, there are many paid parking options throughout the downtown area that are within walking distance to the three festival entrances.

Online pre-purchased tickets are required to enter the festival. Physical tickets will not be sold at the gate. Purchased General Admission tickets can be used for entry on either day of the festival – Saturday or Sunday.
