For families in Katy looking for something local, festive, and community-centered this weekend, the Grange Bluebonnet Festival & Home Tour offers more than just a spring outing—it’s a chance to experience one of the area’s newest master-planned communities in a way that feels both welcoming and memorable.
Set for 1–4 p.m. on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 401 Prairie Heights Drive in Katy, the free event blends live music, hands-on activities, and model home tours into a single afternoon designed for residents and visitors alike. For those exploring things to do in Katy this weekend or considering a move within the area, the event provides a firsthand look at how community and lifestyle come together in Grange.
A Spring Festival Designed for Katy Families
The Bluebonnet Festival is built around simple but meaningful moments—families spending time outdoors, kids exploring creative activities, and neighbors connecting over food and music.
“We’ve been cultivating ideas on how to make our first Bluebonnet Festival fun for everyone,” said Amanda Burke, Marketing Director of Grange. “We’re excited to showcase our community and to provide the public with a happy, family-friendly event that is a celebration of spring.”
Attendees can expect a wide range of interactive experiences, including a wildflower garden bar, flower crown station, seed planting activities, chalk art, lawn games, and a pollinator exhibit. For younger guests, features like a giant Lite Brite and glitter face paint add a playful touch, while adults can explore local vendors and enjoy a relaxed afternoon outdoors.

Live Music Highlight: Casey Chesnutt Takes the Stage
Adding to the afternoon, Texas country artist Casey Chesnutt will take the stage, bringing a sound that blends his roots with his own direction as an emerging artist.
The son of country music artist Mark Chesnutt, Casey grew up surrounded by ‘90s country but ultimately found his voice in the Texas Red Dirt scene, drawing influence from bands like Cross Canadian Ragweed and artists such as Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran and working musician, he’s known for balancing life on the road with fatherhood—often traveling thousands of miles each week to perform and spend time with his young daughter.
His performance aims to give the event a laid-back, Texas feel to fit naturally with an afternoon of music, wildflowers, and time spent outside with family and neighbors.
Model Home Tours Offer a Look Inside Grange in Katy
Beyond the festival atmosphere, the event also serves as a home tour experience in Katy, with nine professionally decorated model homes open to the public.
Visitors will receive a passport at entry and can collect stamps at each home. Those who complete the tour will be entered into a drawing for a $500 VISA gift card, adding a practical incentive for families and prospective buyers to explore the neighborhood.
Grange itself is a 1,130-acre master-planned community near Morton Road and FM 2855, developed by Johnson Development Corp., a company with more than five decades of experience building communities across Texas. Since launching home sales in 2024, Grange has been designed to accommodate approximately 2,400 homes, with a mix of builders and floor plans aimed at a wide range of buyers.
Future amenities are expected to center around Ricestead, a planned 20-acre hub that will include pools, sports courts, open green space, and retail—reflecting a growing trend in Katy-area developments that prioritize walkability and shared community spaces. The neighborhood is also zoned to Katy Independent School District, with land already secured for on-site schools.
Local Vendors and Food Bring a Neighborhood Feel
Part of what makes events like the Grange Bluebonnet Festival stand out is the emphasis on small businesses and local flavor.
Guests can browse offerings from vendors such as Half and Half Bakery, Shop Sassi Cat, Elderberry Chick, and Her & Reese, while food options include Southern Sliders Co. and Boom Boom Tacos. Drinks range from a floral-infused lemonade stand to a Good Hart Coffee cart, creating a casual, come-and-go environment that reflects the feel of a neighborhood gathering rather than a large-scale festival.

A First Look at a Growing Katy Community
For many visitors, Sunday’s event will double as an introduction to Grange itself—one of Katy’s newer master-planned communities that’s still taking shape.
Te open house-style home tours and casual festival setting give people a chance to explore the neighborhood in a more relaxed way. It’s an opportunity to see how the homes feel, how the layout flows, and what future amenities could look like as the community continues to develop.
