**The Woodlands Lights Up for a Cause: Market Street’s 11th Annual Holiday Tour of Trees Benefits Make-A-Wish**

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The spirit of giving shines brightly in The Woodlands this holiday season, as Market Street hosts its 11th Annual Holiday Tour of Trees, a beloved tradition designed to raise crucial funds for Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast & Louisiana. Running from November 16th through December 27th, this festive display transforms Market Street into a vibrant winter wonderland, inviting visitors to enjoy holiday cheer while supporting a profoundly impactful cause.

Shoppers and visitors can stroll through the beautifully decorated open-air shopping district, discovering a dazzling collection of uniquely adorned Christmas trees. Each of these magnificent trees has been sponsored and creatively decorated by local businesses and community organizations, showcasing their unique flair and commitment to giving back. From whimsical themes to elegant designs, the array of trees offers something to delight every eye.

More than just a visual treat, the Holiday Tour of Trees provides a simple and engaging way for the community to contribute to Make-A-Wish. Each tree is accompanied by a nearby QR code. A quick scan with a smartphone allows visitors to make a direct donation to Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast & Louisiana. Beyond direct giving, scanning the QR code also enables participants to cast their vote for their favorite tree in the highly anticipated “People’s Choice Award,” adding an interactive element to the charitable endeavor.
