From Fly Fishing to Giant Gnomes, City Place Has a Full September Ahead

5 Color Vibe 5K at City Place

City Place is saying sayonara to summer and kicking off the fall season with a sensational September programming lineup full of outdoorsy family fun, cool cars, colorful fitness opportunities, and several larger-than-life visitors of the gnomish persuasion.

On Saturday, Sept. 5, automotive enthusiasts and gearhead families alike can look forward to the return of the City Place Community Car Show featuring a showcase of vintage, luxury, and exotic vehicles, including a presentation of Art Cars. 

In partnership with City Place, the fly-fishing aficionados ORVIS host their first hands-on School of Fly workshop at the Nature Preserve on Saturday, Sept. 12, offering expert-led casting clinics and fly-tying demonstrations complete with provided gear and prize giveaways. Guests looking to turn the event into a getaway can take advantage of special overnight offers, including a discounted rate at the Houston City Place Marriott when using promotional code 11P, as well as a Fly Fishing Experience package at the Courtyard Houston City Place featuring a curated fly-fishing essentials kit complete with snacks and branded merch. 

Adding to the seasonal enjoyment, the Color Vibe 5K Run arrives on Saturday, September 19 with a one-of-a-kind fitness and festival experience, followed by a Pix on The Plaza evening outdoor screening of Disney’s magical family film “Encanto”. 

Roaming Gnomes 1

Starting Saturday, Sept. 26, Roaming Gnomes will make its highly anticipated City Place debut, bringing eight giant, brilliantly illuminated gnomes to the community’s mixed-use urban core. Created by the internationally acclaimed design studio Amigo & Amigo, Roaming Gnomes will be on display through Sunday, November 8. 

All programming takes place on and around The Plaza at 1250 Lake Plaza Drive and is complimentary unless otherwise noted.
