Holiday Time at Bayou Bend is a popular Houston holiday tradition to enjoy with family and friends! Visit this historic museum estate on one of six Candlelight Nights in December (1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16).
Outside, see the mansion aglow with lights and decorations. Inside, marvel at a tree filled with thousands of ornaments and stroll past festive rooms that bring to life American holiday moments from the 1700s to the 1950s. Listen to carols, take your picture with life-size holiday puppets, and enjoy cider, cocoa and a cookie. Candlelight Nights appeal to all ages, and are a fun and memorable way to get everyone in the holiday spirit!
