For the second time, one lucky fan will be able to win a chance to meet the stars before their performances.
Mayor Annise Parker says they city works hard to make each celebration bigger and better.
"We encourage Houstonians to make their plans now for coming down, gather the family, come down and plan to spend the evening with us and we know that everyone will have a great time," Mayor Parker said.
The mayor says the city will be prepared to handle the huge crowds and to keep everyone safe during the event.
"We provide a very high level of security for all of our events. Part of what goes into an event is looking at what is happening around the country and what is happening in Houston and we grade our security accordingly," she said.
