Jingle Tree

Decorate the Holidays with Natural Science

November 15-21
Celebrating 15 years of HMNS Sugar Land!

What is Jingle Tree?

Celebrate the holidays with Jingle Tree! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, as one of Fort Bend’s most beloved events—Jingle Tree, presented by Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital—returns to HMNS at Sugar Land. Jingle Tree features a showcase of beautifully decorated trees and décor, up for bid in a week long, online silent auction. Jingle Tree takes place November 15-21 and the Honorary Chairs are long time museum supporters and Fort Bend residents, Judi Dai & Catalina Flores-Rau.

Proceeds allow the Museum to partner with 150+ Fort Bend area school with discounted field trips, expand museum access to diverse communities and more than 30 local nonprofits annually, and support innovative sensory-friendly programming to make HMNS at Sugar Land accessible to all visitors, including those with disabilities, their peers and families.
