Photo Walk with Reel Quick Film Lab, Friends of Columbia Tap, and TCAALH

Join FotoFest, Reel Quick Film Lab, Friends of Columbia Tap, and TCAALH for a Photo Walk program. All photo experience is welcome!

Beginning at Project Row Houses, FotoFest invites participants to explore Houston's Third Ward through a guided Photo Walk that highlights the neighborhood’s history, culture, and evolving landscape. This experience features significant community landmarks throughout the Third Ward and along the Columbia Tap Trail, such as Trinity United Methodist Church, Historic Riverside Hospital, Blackshear Elementary School, and Greater Rose Hill Missionary Baptist Church.

The walking tour focuses on historical and cultural sites and is led by historian and storyteller Naomi Carrier, Founder and Executive Director of the Texas Center for African American Living History. Participants will visit landmarks such as John Biggers Murals at Texas Southern University, The Savoy, Mack Hannah’s Savings and Loan, and the legendary Eldorado Ballroom, while engaging with stories that illuminate the people, places, and movements that shaped Third Ward.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
