Beginning as a celebration of the opening of the Lake Houston Parkway bridge, Bridge Fest remains an important event. Participation in Bridge Fest supports Y programs that positively impact the Lake Houston community. Net proceeds benefit the YMCA annual campaign, which helps everyone, regardless of age, income or background, have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive at the Y.

In 2023 we are running for programs that support our community. We are running for Safety Around Water (SAW), Families In Need, and Adaptive Sports. By signing up to run Bridge Fest, you will be directly impacting these life changing programs. Recent years brought a lot of color to the bridge. This year, YOU will be the color as each of the 3 honored programs comes in a different color runner t-shirt. #irunfor #bridgethegap

Recipient of Honor - The Physical Education departments of Humble ISD will receive a donation to those programs to ensure the health and development of our children, directly aligning with one of YMCA's focus of Youth Development.
