Today’s Swamplot sponsor is . . . a party! It’s the gathering Boulevard Realty is putting on before White Linen Night festivities begin in the Houston Heights — from 5 to 8 pm on Saturday, August 6th — and it’s open to all.

Boulevard Realty is billing the pre-party’s location as the most expensive new single-family home listing ever to hit the Houston Heights, and the party will serve as an early open house for it, too: It’s the new 6,814-sq.-ft. residence Smith Family Homes is building at 1035 Harvard St. — which is expected to be completed in the fall.

But there’s room on the home’s 9,900-sq.-ft. lot (plus an adjacent property) for a few party attractions: a live performance by Craig Kinsey & His Band; food trucks Foodgasm and St. John’s Fire; plus specially fortified New Orleans-style snoballs from the Mam’s House of Ice trailer. There will also be lawn games, refreshments, and a shuttle bus to and from the main White Linen Night in the Heights party on the 200 and 300 blocks of 19th St.

Where you planning on attending White Linen Night this year? Stop by here first! See the pre-party’s event page on Facebook for more information.
