City of Katy Reschedules Street Dance on the Square to March 14, Creating a Full Day of Community Celebration Downtown
Residents planning to gather in downtown Katy for the City of Katy’s popular Street Dance on the Square will now have a little more time to prepare—and an even bigger celebration to look forward to.
City officials announced this week that the Street Dance on the Square has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 14, 2026, after rain was forecast for the originally planned date. While weather forced the change, the adjustment is creating an unexpected bonus for the community: a full day of events in Historic Katy Town Square, bringing together the Katy Exchange daytime market and the evening street dance in one action-packed Saturday.
The City of Katy encouraged residents to share the update widely so families, friends, and visitors across the area are aware of the new date.
A Full Day of Community Events in Historic Katy Town Square
With the new schedule, March 14 will feature two major community gatherings in the heart of downtown Katy.
The day will begin with the Katy Exchange, a community market event that brings residents together to browse local vendors, connect with neighbors, and spend time in the historic town square.

10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Later that evening, the square will transform into a lively outdoor gathering space for the Street Dance on the Square, one of Katy’s signature community traditions.

A Strong Start to the City of Katy’s 2026 Community Event Season
City leaders say the combined events are shaping up to be an energetic kickoff to the City of Katy’s 2026 community events calendar, which traditionally brings residents together throughout the year for festivals, markets, and seasonal gatherings.
Events like the Street Dance on the Square reflect Katy’s long-standing tradition of building community through shared experiences—where longtime residents and newcomers alike can gather in the historic district and celebrate the city’s hometown atmosphere.
Historic Katy Town Square has increasingly become a focal point for these gatherings, offering a recognizable setting where families can connect, small businesses can engage with the community, and neighbors can spend time together outdoors.
Helping Spread the Word Across Katy
Because many residents had already made plans for the original date, city officials are asking the community to help spread the word about the rescheduled event.
Sharing the update helps ensure families across Katy, Old Katy, and surrounding West Houston communities know the new date and can still take part in the celebration.
With both the Katy Exchange and the Street Dance now happening on the same day, the city says the event could become one of the most anticipated early-season gatherings of 2026.
What Happens Next
Residents planning to attend should mark their calendars for Saturday, March 14, and prepare for a full day in downtown Katy—from shopping local vendors during the Katy Exchange to dancing under the evening sky at the Street Dance on the Square.
As the 2026 event season begins to unfold, community gatherings like these continue to reinforce what many residents value most about Katy: the opportunity to come together, celebrate local traditions, and spend time with neighbors in the heart of the city.
