August is National Make-A-Will Month—a meaningful reminder to put your wishes in writing and plan for the people, pets, and places that matter most. 💚

Through Hermann Park Conservancy’s partnership with FreeWill, you can create a will online at no cost in about 20 minutes. It’s an easy way to make a plan for your future.

You can also choose to include a future gift to Hermann Park in your plans, helping ensure this beloved green space continues to thrive for generations to come. Those who make a planned gift to the Conservancy are welcomed into the George Hermann Society, honoring George Hermann’s own lasting gift to Houston. 🌳

What a memorable summer it's been! 🌟⚽ Thank you to everyone who joined us for Kicking It at Hermann Park, presented by ExxonMobil, and helped make this celebration so special.

Over the past several weeks, we welcomed our Houston community and visitors from around the world for live music, cultural performances, Moonlight Movie Nights (Goya Foods), wellness experiences, eco-friendly activities, soccer programming, garden tours, family fun, and so much more. From dancing and drumming to karaoke, art projects, and shared moments in the Park, it's been incredible to see so many people come together to celebrate the cultures that make Houston so vibrant. 💚
