And on Friday, November 14, that’s exactly what dozens of fearless Houstonians will be doing as they step off the edge of the Galleria DoubleTree Hotel for Rappel for a Reason, a fundraising event benefiting the United Way of Greater Houston.

Light Up the Park, presented by Houston Methodist, Houston’s newest holiday celebration.

The event officially opens to the public on Saturday, November 22, kicking off a 45-day festival that runs through January 4, 2026.
