Community events bringing out the best in Cane Island

-

Katy’s Cane Island is more than an award-winning community of new homes: It’s a hub of activity where residents enjoy events from classic car shows and artisan craft fairs to fun runs, movie nights under the stars and much more.

Regardless of the season, the resortstyl­e Cane Quarter hosts gatherings of all sizes where neighbors connect with neighbors to create a sense of community that’s uniquely Cane Island.

The Katy Triathlon comes to Cane Island on Sept. 23, when competitor­s from across the region will swim, bike and run to raise funds for Katy ISD scholarshi­ps.

Since the event’s inception, the Rotary Club of Katy has awarded approximat­ely $300,000 in scholarshi­ps to deserving students.

As summer gives way to fall, residents and friends gather in Cane Quarter for Food Truck Fridays and movie nights when families spread out blankets for fun under the stars.

In November, the Ballard House Festival of Trees comes to Cane Island featuring a spectacula­r collection of uniquely decorated holiday trees and wreaths, entertainm­ent, gift boutiques, food trucks and Santa — all benefiting the Ballard House’s mission of providing housing for patients undergoing treatment for critical illnesses.

As the holidays draw closer, Candy Cane Market with the Real Craftwives of Katy returns with more than 60 local vendors presenting holiday gift finds along with live music, food trucks, life-sized snow globe and photos with Santa.

The new year brings with it the return of the popular Cane Island Car Show, a stand out collection of vintage roadsters and hot rods, along with fun runs and walks benefittin­g several worthwhile causes, resident dinner clubs, men’s bourbon and cigar groups, gardening workshops and more as planned by the community’s full-time on-site lifestyle coordinato­r.

Now directly accessible from I-10 via Cane Island Parkway, the carefully planned community offers luxury homes from award-winning builders, proximity to major west Houston employers and outstandin­g Katy ISD schools.
