47th Annual Candlelight Tour - Christmas at Sam Houston Park Presented by Heritage Society. Dec 11, 6:30pm, Dec 12, 9:30pm. Houston s past comes alive as visitors stroll along paths lit by glowing candlelight and experience a long-standing Houston tradition for holiday gathering. Guests can tour the interiors of Houston s most historic structures, each decorated to portray an era in Houston s history. Visitors will also be able to enjoy historical re-enactments inside the historic structures. Along the way, carolers will lift their voices in joyful song, and the sounds of music will usher in the holiday spirit. Storytellers and crafters will take visitors back in time as they experience how holidays were celebrated in the past. At Santa s Workshop, children can have their photo taken while visiting with St. Nicholas, send Santa a letter to the North Pole, engage in arts and crafts activities, and play in the snow and build snowmen. Santa s Workshop will also include staged performances by various musical and theatrical groups. In addition, The Heritage Society Museum will present Spinning a Yarn: Houston History Through Clothing, an exhibit featuring extravagant costumes and accessories of the past. Tickets are available for $10.00 (adults 19-64), $5.00 (students 13-18), $5.00 (children 6-12), $5.00 (seniors 65+), and children (5 and under) are free.
