Over 100 vendors will offer an array of oh-so-tempting goodies -- including but not limited to -- gourmet food, home goods, kitchen wares, clothing, toys and, of course, holiday decorations galore. Admission is $15. Find more information here.
❄️ The Light Park
As temperatures drop (kind of) and a new year looms (just two months left, people!), a beloved winter tradition has returned: light shows. The dazzling spectacle that is the Light Park will begin operating its locations in Katy and Spring on Nov. 4. The mile-long light show consists of over one million lights and includes a 700-foot LED tunnel. The park’s light show is synced and choreographed to holiday music. Find more information here.
