Join us for one of Katy’s favorite traditions — the Katy Rice Harvest Festival Parade! This lively event kicks off the festivities with colorful floats, local organizations, and community spirit filling the streets of Katy.

Want to be part of this cherished Katy tradition? Whether you're a business, school, nonprofit, or just want to show off your festive spirit- we want to hear from you!
This year, we’re encouraging all participants to help us bring even more color, creativity, and excitement to the parade. Based on community feedback, spectators are hoping to see more decorated floats and festive parade vehicles rather than standard, undecorated cars or trucks.
