White Linen Night 2024: Tickets will be required for 19th Street portion of Houston Heights celebration

There will be an admission charge for the outdoor party on West 19th Street, where Houston's White Linen Night celebration originated in 2006, for the first time this year. An organizer for the Aug. 3 event says the $10 ticket price will help defray hosting costs for businesses and give them more control over crowd sizes and security.
