Polls are open 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Confirm your registration county first, because the Katy area also spills into Harris and Waller counties.

Cinco Ranch Branch Library, Fort Bend County Libraries
2620 Commercial Center Blvd, Katy, TX 77494
A drop-in chess program for players of all ages and skill levels, from elementary kids to adults, at the branch named for Cinco Ranch. No registration needed; space and sets are limited, so arrive early or bring your own board.
The church’s second annual fall festival, free and right on Cinco Ranch Boulevard, a short drive from much of the community. Activities were not detailed on the listings we verified, so check the church’s site before heading over.
The Sunday farmers market returns to Heritage Square, rain or shine, with local produce and vendors. Braeswood Farmers Market runs this weekly market and describes it as the flagship that does not skip weeks.
The lights open Friday, then markets and a glow party Saturday
These events sit outside Cinco Ranch proper, in Katy, and are all a short drive from the community. Each card
gives the exact address so you know precisely where you’re going. The big one is opening night of The
Light Park at Typhoon Texas Katy on Friday, the drive-through holiday light show that runs nightly through
January 3, 2027. Saturday keeps the market rhythm with the Farmers Market on Grand Parkway and the Old Katy
market at The Dryer in the morning, and the evening belongs to Katy Sip N Stroll, the “Let’s
Glow!” food and wine tasting at The ARK by Norris benefiting Christ Clinic. Nearby counts when it is
genuinely worth it, and nothing on this list is a stretch.
