Historic Baytown’s Art, Culture, and Entertainment Council, Inc. was formed as a 501c3 non-profit organization in 2017 with the determination to help revive the Downtown Arts District. We know our name is a mouthful so you may often hear us referred to as the ACE District which is our DBA.

Since its inception, we have built up a calendar of events with various themes, cultures, and entertainment. Our biggest event, Christmas on Texas Avenue has grown tremendously over the years and was voted as the Baytown Sun’s people’s choice for the best festival in Baytown for 2021. Although we took over the helm of this popular community event in 2017, it has been a Baytown staple since 1997. That’s 25 years and it is still going strong.

We focus on art in the area and have donated some pieces around the downtown. Our first addition was two colorful bike racks. In addition, we have worked with the Neighborhood Empowerment Grant and the City of Baytown to get a mural painted and a standing directory placed. Collaborating with the City of Baytown has been instrumental in bringing some of our endeavors to fruition.
