## About

MFAH turns the Bayou Bend gardens into an evening holiday village on select nights in December, rain or shine. Single-occupant strollers are welcome though many paths have steps; food, sweets and drinks are sold on site, and limited parking costs $20 (card only), so ride shares are encouraged.
