 Houston, if you’re wondering what to do this week, you’ve picked a fantastic time to get out and explore. Let’s start right in the heart of downtown, where the city flips the holiday switch in a big way. According to the City of Houston’s Special Events team, City Hall’s Hermann Square is hosting the Reliant Presents Deck the Hall celebration this evening, a free, family-friendly kickoff with live music, the official tree lighting, and plenty of photo ops with festive lights surrounding 901 Bagby. Visit Houston notes that Mayor John Whitmire and Reliant will be on hand from 5 to 8 p.m. to launch 106 years of Houston’s holiday tree-lighting tradition, so it’s a great spot if listeners want that classic “only in Houston” holiday moment.

If you’re near the Museum District, Hermann Park is buzzing today too. The Japan-America Society of Houston is joining Holiday in Hermann Park, where from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. they’ll guide visitors through making kadomatsu, a traditional Japanese New Year decoration crafted from pine and bamboo. The Japan-America Society of Houston explains that kadomatsu are meant to welcome good fortune and renewal for the year ahead, and thanks to the Hermann Park Conservancy and PlainsCapital Bank, the crafts, games, rides, roaming Santas, and even an evening double-feature of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Elf are all part of a free, all-ages day of fun.

As the sun goes down later this week, listeners can stroll into one of Houston’s most magical holiday experiences: Christmas Village at Bayou Bend. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston describes the grounds as a glowing wonderland, with carolers, music-bell stations where you can play your own tunes, and a 3-D video projection that lights up the historic Bayou Bend house. The event runs on select evenings through December 23, with extended hours on weekend nights, so it’s perfect for a date night, a family outing, or just a peaceful walk under twinkling trees.

For something a little different today, there’s also a Houston Art Walk: Houston’s Surreal Art, a scavenger-hunt-style experience starting from 730 Clay Street. Eventbrite lists it as a guided, app-based adventure that sends you around downtown hunting for murals, sculptures, and quirky details that even longtime Houstonians might miss.

And if you’re a soccer fan, Shell Energy Stadium is the place to be midday. Houston Dynamo FC is hosting the Houston Soccer Celebration Kickoff from 12 to 3 p.m. The club’s official announcement highlights chalk talks with team executives, a meet and greet with US soccer legend Demarcus Beasley, an on-field Q&A with Mexican star Luis Hernandez, kids’ clinics with the team mascot Diesel, locker-room tours, and even a tournament bracket challenge where one lucky fan could snag 2027 season tickets.

However you choose to spend it—under city lights at Deck the Hall, crafting Japanese New Year decorations in Hermann Park, wandering the illuminated paths at Bayou Bend, chasing surreal art downtown, or hanging out pitch-side with the Dynamo—Houston is absolutely buzzing this week.
