Houston may be known to outsiders as the "concrete jungle," but it houses the culture one would expect out of a city with a large growing international community. Many annual events celebrate the diverse cultures of Houston. The largest and longest-running is the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo held over twenty days from early to late March. Other annual events include the Houston Greek Festival, the Art Car Parade, and the Bayou City Art Festival, which is considered to be one of the top five art festivals in the United States.
