Marvel at elaborate holiday lights, outdoor entertainment and more at MainStreet America’s Christmas on MainStreet event, featuring the 2nd Annual Lights of Hope charity lighting competition, happening every Saturday this holiday season from Saturday, November 26 through Saturday, December 17, 2016.
Twinkling lights, snow, and a flurry of holiday family fun are forecast for MainStreet America on select Saturdays this holiday season.
Following its debut last year, the Lights of Hope charity lighting competition is returning to MainStreet America as part of Christmas on MainStreet, which features evening snow flurries, train rides, entertainment, outdoor lights synchronized to music, visits with Santa, and more.
Holiday Lights Competition
9 of the MainStreet America’s 12 designer showcase homes will be decked out for the holiday, each decorated by a different Houston-area nonprofit organization.
Supporting your favorite charity or home decor is easy. Simply tour the homes and cast your vote with a $1 donation. Donations all go to the nonprofit, and the most popular lighting display will receive $10,000 after the final night of Lights of Hope.

Snowfall & Holiday Cheer
Normally unheard of in Houston, snow flurries will fall nightly at Christmas on MainStreet. Amidst the light snowfall, guests can hop aboard the MainStreet Express for a tour of the lights.
Guests armed with their cameras and smart phones will be well-prepared to strike a pose at the Santa Selfie Station.
At the Magic on MainStreet Movie Theatre, families will find holiday films playing non-stop. Kids can also send a letter to Santa at the Sugar Plum Post Office and watch as their letter departs for the North Pole.
Guests can also sipping cocoa at an roaring outdoor fire, as lights are synchronized to the music, and join in the Reindeer Games for a chance to win some stunning prizes.
Participating Charities
Participating charities include My Person Foundation, The Breast Center, New Danville, Bridgewood Farms, JDRF, Interfaith of The Woodlands, HOPE, American Heart Association, and Texas Children’s Hospital.
