The city of Houston, Texas, has named November 18 “Astroworld Day” in honor of Travis Scott. Named after his album Astroworld, the city’s Mayor Sylvester Turner announced the honor following Scott’s inaugural Astroworld Festival, which brought 40,000 fans to Houston. Scott accepted the proclamation recognizing him as an ambassador for the arts, education, and youth initiatives at Houston’s city hall. In his acceptance speech, Scott said that the inspiration behind the festival and LP was Six Flag’s now-closed Astroworld in Houston.
