Katy Sip N Stroll Returns to The Ark by Norris Nov. 1 for 30th 'Let’s Glow' Edition Benefiting Christ Clinic
The Katy Sip N Stroll is going all out for its 30th edition, lighting up the night on Saturday, November 1, 2025, with a glow-in-the-dark celebration that promises community fun with purpose. Themed “Let’s Glow,” this after-dark wine and food event invites residents across Katy and surrounding areas to come dressed in their brightest neon and join the celebration at The Ark by Norris from 6 to 9 p.m.
Presented by Kroger, this milestone edition of the Katy Sip N Stroll is more than just an evening of wine, music, and gourmet bites. It’s a heartfelt fundraiser for Christ Clinic, a Katy-based nonprofit that provides affordable, accessible healthcare to under- and uninsured residents.
Neon Nights, Foodie Delights, and Local Flavor
With more than 300 beverages, including over 200 wines, craft beers, spirits, and emerging sips, guests are invited to sip and explore at their leisure. The event also showcases Katy’s dynamic culinary scene with 35+ local restaurants offering mouthwatering dishes from savory to sweet.
Inside Kroger Experience Alley, guests can sample a 60-foot gourmet food showcase, while the Spirits Patio offers a destination for bourbon lovers and tequila connoisseurs alike, featuring curated pours and expert-led tastings. And for those with a sweet tooth, Sweet Tooth Alley delivers indulgent desserts and confections that are as Instagram-worthy as they are delicious.

Music, Costumes & Glow Bar Fun
To truly bring the night to life, musical duo Shang and Byron will energize the crowd and lead an electric light parade through the venue. Guests are encouraged to “glow all out” with glowing costumes and accessories. The Glow Bar, featuring neon body paint, helps everyone shine a little brighter, and there’s even a Best Neon Costume Award up for grabs.
For an elevated experience, guests can upgrade to VIP tickets for $95, which include early entry, exclusive lounge access, premium wine and cheese pairings, passed hors d’oeuvres, a keepsake glass, swag bag, and live music in a more intimate setting. General admission tickets start at $65.
Giving Back: Sip, Savor, and Support Christ Clinic
While the event may be flashy, its heart lies in the mission it supports. Proceeds from Katy Sip N Stroll benefit Christ Clinic, whose work addresses healthcare disparities in the region.
“Even in a city with the world’s largest medical center, some community members still go without care,” said Jay Donnella of Christ Clinic. “Christ Clinic bridges that gap, offering doctor and mid-level provider visits, necessary testing, and medications at minimal cost. Our involvement with this beloved community event helps us raise awareness and money to provide critical care to those who need it most.”
