Lights in the Heights Bike Valet

Saturday, December 14, 6 - 9 PM

The traffic and parking situation at Lights in the Heights is like getting a lump of coal in your stocking. Fortunately, BikeHouston is here to offer some holiday cheer: Ride your bike to the festivities and we’ll valet your bike for free.

We parked very few bikes at last year’s event due to rain, but we parked 150 bikes at Lights In The Heights in 2022. Help us beat that number! We’ll be set up on the Norhill Esplanade (between Bayland and Euclid) from 6 to 9 p.m.
