While the tree lighting ceremony on Post Oak boulevard has been going on for years, this was the…read morefirst time I've attended. The even had street vendors, entertainers, and lots of family fun. The festival had lights on the roof of buildings and a fun show on the stage. This was the debut of the "new" trees on post oak boulevard, and they did not disappoint. They were 20 feet tall and made of twisted stainless steel with 249 LED lights on different points of the "trees". They were a very a modern take on the "Christmas Tree" and they were beautiful. The trees and fireworks were meant to be lit at 7:00 P.M., it didn't exactly go as planned, but nobody seemed to mind. Once the firework display began, the crowd was amazed, including myself. The uptown post oak tree lighting event was a sight to see and I would highly recommend.

I took my Mother to the 2013 Uptown Houston Holiday Lighting. It was our first time, after living…read more33+ years in Houston... If you've lived in Houston at least 10 years, you should attend this annual event at least once. Pros: - There is lots of parking even if you don't arrive early. The flyer also has a map of the free parking areas. - The music is good. - There are some booths, one of which lets you throw a ball through some holes in the back and you could win t-shirts, stress balls, etc... - There are police directing the flow of traffic which made leaving the area smooth. - There are lots of food options (albeit mostly unhealthy carnival type food). - The other attendees are polite (We only saw one drunk guy helped by his friends. Alcohol was not available at the event so I'm not sure how that happened.) - There are lots of places to sit (e.g. along the curb, concrete garden walls of surrounding businesses, etc...) I brought a chair for my mother, though. - The terrific fireworks show at the end was choreographed to music. - The emcees did a good job entertaining. - It was held in a fun area so you could walk around if you were waiting for the fireworks. - Some booths sold hot chocolate for only $2 when the temperatures were in the low 50s. - The food was not overpriced (except that bbq food truck selling turkey legs for $10 each). Cons: - They advertised food trucks but other than a bbq one, they were mostly generic fair food tents serving turkey legs ($8!), hot dogs, corn dogs, nachos, fajitas, sandwiches, tortas, funnel cakes, etc... - Lots of vendors were selling flashing colorful light toys that may make parents buy junk for their kids, wasting money. - I didn't see any portable restrooms. - There were strobes flashing lights. - The diesel-fueled generators powering some of the food tents were really loud and smelly.

We stopped by to pick up some fun for the 4th and dropped about $500 on insane fireworks. We got the whole range and they all were super cool.

The trail was paved but not always the same width. Some parts were narrower than others. I saw warning signs for the cyclists to give room for pedestrians.

I would love to return on a sunny day in the summer.

What I mean is that for example this year there were less firework fountains idk if it's due to imported fireworks from china or prices on em or what it may be . Speaking of prices usually you can get a good amount of fireworks for cheap prices depending on what fireworks you're looking for . Plus the name in these absolutely illegal fireworks are ummmm questionable.... Also this place gets packed a lot and can get out of hands . Is it just me or does the staff look like there on drugs been abused or just tried .? Overall idk how much longer this place will last .

In addition to the beautiful view, this park has sand volleyball courts and plenty of open space.

It's tucked into Buffalo Bayou, pretty close to the Cistern. Street parking is available, with some extra off of Sabine Street, just a short walk from here. Would definitely recommend stopping by, my spirits are always high at this park!

While this wasn't my favorite park to visit, I recognize that it's got a lot to offer.
