HOUSTON — When the queen comes home to H-Town for two concerts, welcoming her with a big BeyHive party is a must!
The City of Houston is doing it in style Saturday night with Beyoncé's Homecoming Party on the Avenida Plaza.
The Hou Run the World celebration downtown will include a spectacular show with 400 drones creating a tribute to Houston's brightest star. There will also be a band, DJ and fireworks at the free event.
“There’s no artist like Beyoncé. She is a hometown favorite and a global icon. We planned something special to let her know how excited we are to welcome her home,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said. “Beyoncé and the Knowles family have greatly supported our city during good and challenging times. Houston is where she started. No matter where she goes, Houston will always be home. We want her to feel the love and respect this city has for her and our appreciation for all the positive recognition she has garnered for Houston.”
The event from 6:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. is also sponsored by Houston First Corporation and Central Houston.
“Beyoncé’s international star power is unrivaled, and we are incredibly fortunate that she is a consummate ambassador for Houston around the world,” Houston First President and CEO Michael Heckman said.
