THE WOODLANDS, TX - The Spring Arts in the Park event is set for Saturday, March 13, 2021, from 2 to 6 p.m. at its new location at Northshore Park, located at 2505 Lake Woodlands Drive in The Woodlands, TX 77381.

This year, the Youth Art Contest returns. Young artist submissions will be accepted until 5 p.m. on March 8, 2021, and the entry form can be found on the Township website at www.thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/artsinthepark.
