Beyond city limits
Events in Fulshear, Richmond and other nearby communities are not listed here yet. When we verify a specific date, time, location and organizer for one, it will appear above with a clear “nearby community” label, never mixed in with City of Katy events. If you are organizing a verifiable Katy-area event and want it listed, send Carol the details.
Most City of Katy events center on Historic Town Square and Second Street.
