Just one day after 40,000 fans came out for rapper and Houston native Travis Scott’s debut of the Astroworld Festival, Mayor Sylvester Turner proclaimed Nov. 18 as “Astroworld Day.”
In front of dozens of students from various schools and organizations, Scott accepted a proclamation recognizing him as an ambassador for the arts, education and youth initiatives.
Scott spoke briefly and shared his love for Houston, pointing out he is from Missouri City and stated he has many fond memories of spending time at the Six Flag’s Astroworld theme park before it was closed in 2005.
GOT MY OWN DAY IN THE CITY !!!!
