The excitement of the holidays will be in the air, with Mistletoe Madness and its invitation to “Eat, drink, shop & be merry!”, Heights 1st Saturday www.heightsfirstsaturday.com  and First Saturday Arts Market on 19th Street www.firstsaturdayartsmarket.com.

It’s a great time to get in some holiday shopping in the antiques and vintage clothing shops, art galleries, eclectic boutiques, and the ever-popular gourmet food and cupcake trucks, and to relax in the Houston Heights coffee shops and world-class restaurants.

Proceeds from the Houston Heights Association Holiday Home Tour are used to maintain Marmion Park, Donovan Park, and the Heights Boulevard esplanade park. Among its many missions and projects, the Houston Heights Association owns and maintains the historic Heights Fire Station at 12th and Yale as a community center (and which is currently undergoing an extensive restoration), and supports local schools with grants, scholarships and classroom projects.

The HOUSTON HEIGHTS is the fabulous and festive  destination choice of the season!
