This holiday season, Rice Village welcomes moments of repose and revelry. While there’s plenty of holiday hubbub—live caroling in Morningside Plaza, the buzz of the Sunday Farmers Market, the clinking of glasses over a family dinner—it’s also easy to find a quiet bench on a sun-dappled sidewalk or a cozy alcove for enjoying your morning coffee.

It’s this mix of moments—much like the variety of shops, eateries, and architecture—that make the Village as welcoming as it is iconic. A walkable, historic haven tucked in the true heart of the city—between the oak-lined avenues of the city's finest residences, the Medical Center, and the leafy reaches of Rice University—the Village has remained a beloved Houston treasure for generations.

Today, we’re actively working to continue this legacy. It’s our aim to foster an atmosphere of relaxed discovery—whether in uncovering new brands or revisiting timeless favorites—with colorful storefronts and canopied restaurants that welcome both practical and leisurely pursuits. Ongoing renovations evoke the kind of vibrancy and versatility inherent to a village experience.

This holiday season, we invite you to lean into the community we’re creating together. Between our festive programming and events, the celebration of cultures and cuisines, and the glow of the twinkle lights strung throughout our oak-lined boulevards, there are so many ways to experience holiday magic in Rice Village.
