    12 sparkling holiday light shows spreading cheer to Houston

    Craig Lindsey

    The pandemic may have nixed many holiday happenings this year. But that won't stop Houstonians from getting their spirit on with festive holiday lights. Taking in holiday lighting is a safe, socially distanced activity that's fun for whole family.

    With that in mind, here are a dozen places you can check out and enjoy all the shiny, yuletide splendor:

    Commercial displays

    Galaxy Lights at Space Center Houston
    Space Center Houston is back with this festive holiday adventure. In a new outdoor path, guests will walk through a 200-foot, LED light tunnel made of more than 250,000 lights synchronized to festive holiday music. Runs through January 3. 6 pm.

    Holiday at the Gardens at Moody Gardens
    The beloved Festival of Lights is still a favorite annual holiday happening. This year, look for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 4D, the Arctic Slide, holiday 3D films, Star: The Dancing Tree of Light, train rides, and more. Runs through December 31. 6 pm.

    The Light Park
    Billed as "a very merry, drive-thru spectacular at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown," this Spring park boasts more than a million LED lights throughout its one-mile light show/musical experience. $35 per vehicle. Runs through December 31. 5:30 pm.

    Merry & Bright Tour of Lights at Christine Allen Nature Park
    In Montgomery, Woodforest presents these three miles of shimmering holiday displays. Guests can follow the signs for the drive-thru tour of more than 70 light displays and to “Santa’s Workshop,” where they can take holiday photos and drop off letters in Santa’s mailbox. Runs through December 31. 6 pm.

    Rudolph's Lightshow
    This premium holiday light experience over in Hockley, which features over 1 million lights that "dance" or are synced to holiday classics that can be heard over a specified radio station, can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own vehicle. Runs through January 3. 6:30 pm.

    Sugar Land Holiday Nights at Constellation Field Stadium
    The Sugar Land Skeeters will once again present this glowing spectacular. This time around, the holiday fun will be socially distanced, complete with over 3 million lights, great food, holiday vendors, a carnival, and more. Runs through January 3. 6 pm.

    Texas Winter Lights at Marriott Marquis Houston
    This hotel's iconic, Texas-shaped lazy river will be surrounded by one mile worth of sparkling lights, providing an interactive light experience 110-feet above street level. Light displays include the Light Up Sports Lawn, Glow Garden, Hanging Icicles, and various Instagram-worthy set ups. Runs through January 3. 5 pm.

    Zoo Lights at Houston Zoo
    TXU Energy presents this fun time, where guests can sip hot chocolate, stroll through a 125-foot-long, Infinity Tunnel of Light, see dragons come to life in the 4-D Enchanted Forest (presented by King & Spalding LLP), and experience “snow” in Texas. Runs through January 10. 5:30 pm.

    Neighborhoods

    Christmas Ranch in Cleveland
    It's that time again, when this Cleveland ranch gets all splacked out for the yuletide season. And, as always, Santa is scheduled to visit Saturdays in December from 6 to 8 pm, and on Christmas Eve from 6 to 8 pm. Runs through December 31. 6 pm.

    Prestonwood Forest
    This neighborhood will once again throw its 43rd annual Nite of Lites celebration. Starting December 12, 785 homes will participate in friendly, holiday-spirited competition for a variety of individual and block recognition categories, which are awarded by a committee of guest judges. Runs through December 27. 6 pm.

    River Oaks
    The lights will be sparkling over River Oaks this holiday season. People will be able to check out all the decorated home via bus tours, carriage rides, etc. Runs through December 25 (some residents will leave decorations and lights until 1st week in January). 5:30 pm.

    Woodland Heights
    It's Lights in the Heights time over at this part of town, starting December 11. Among the events that'll be going on during the night (and day) in this neighborhood: family tree decorating at the Norhill Esplanade, a traditional house-decorating contest, and a neighborhood scavenger hunt. Runs through December 26. 7:30 pm.

    Moddy Gardens shines with its Festival of Lights.

    Pop stars Kesha and Scissor Sisters slice into Houston on new summer tour

    Kesha will play in The Woodlands with Scissor Sisters on July 10 as part of The Tits Out Tour.

    Pop singerKesha will hit the road in 2025 with the boldly-titled The Tits Out Tour, the biggest live run of her career. The tour will come to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Thursday, July 10.

    Comprised of 25 dates in North America, the tour will start in West Valley City, Utah on July 1, lasting a little over a month until the final date on August 10 in Tampa, Florida.

    In addition to Houston, Kesha will play in Dallas on July 8. She'll be joined by the recently-reunited Scissor Sisters on all dates, as well as Slayyyter for the two Texas dates.

    The tour will be in support of her upcoming new album, . (PERIOD), set for release on July 4. This will be the singer's sixth overall album, and the first on her new independent music label, Kesha Records.

    To underscore the title of the tour, Kesha released a politically provocative statement:

    “The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other,” Kesha said. “Americans need to have more safe, consensual sex. Our administration is so disembodied and disconnected. I’m going TITS OUT this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and love, not war."

    Additionally, she is teaming up with Feeld, "a dating app for the curious," as part of the tour "in order to bring our sexually liberated selves and give us a place to flirt, meet, connect, and dance."

    Fans can sign up now for access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 8 at 10 am local time at keshaofficial.com and scissorsisters.com. Additional presales will run throughout the week.

    All remaining tickets will be available through a general onsale on Thursday, April 10 at 10 am local time. For complete tour details, go to keshaofficial.com/tour.
