About Lights in the Heights

During the celebration, two streets are chosen to host the event. These streets, closed to vehicular traffic, become vibrant hubs of community activity. Neighbors and visitors alike are invited to stroll through the illuminated streets and enjoy the vibrant displays and holiday cheer. This inclusivity makes the WHCA Lights in the Heights® celebration a true community event, open to neighbors and guests alike who wish to join in the festive spirit.

The WHCA 2024 Lights in the Heights® Committee has announced this year's schedule and the selected streets. We invite you to mark your calendars and Save the Dates to celebrate the Woodland Heights holiday spirit in lights! The excitement is building up for these upcoming events!

2024 WHCA Ornament Design

The "Travisaurus" at Travis Elementary School, a local creation sparked the creation of a playful and fanciful dinosaur-themed ornament. Designed by Karla Cisneros, the design imagines our neighborhood T-Rex as an astronaut (a nod to Houston's identity and historic role in space exploration).

2024 Lights in the Heights Official Logo

The Official 2024 Lights in the Heights® logo was selected from entries submitted in June. The "Travisaurus" design will become the 2024 LITH cloisonné ornament and will be the featured logo on all merchandise and signage. Proceeds from the ornament sale are also used to fund the event.

Please note we do not ship ornaments - pickup times and locations will be announced at a later date.


LITH Call For Porches

Dear Byrne, Euclid & 7-1/2 Street Neighbors,

This December, Lights in The Heights (LITH) will be celebrating its 37th year as an annual Holiday Season tradition organized by the Woodland Heights Civic Association. Traditionally scheduled for the second Saturday in December, this year LITH will take place on the evening of December 14th. Byrne, Euclid and 7-1/2 streets are the streets which have been chosen for the official route for LITH this year.

During the celebration your streets will be closed to vehicular traffic so that neighbors, and visitors to our neighborhood, are able to walk these streets while enjoying the lights, decorations and music along the route. As per tradition, outdoor music is allowed from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. that evening and neighbors on the official route are asked if they would like to volunteer their porches to host performers.

We invite to let us know if you would like to volunteer your porch to host performers for this event. The LITH Entertainment Committee has a list of volunteer performers that we can pair up with willing hosts. These performers are volunteering their time and talent at no cost to perform for LITH.

If you prefer to arrange a performer of your own, we ask that you let the committee know as well. Knowing what homes are planning on hosting their own performers will help the committee arrange music to avoid one type of music overshadowing another so all the performers can be enjoyed by everyone walking the official route.

Thank you for supporting LITH!
