10 Years of Fun at the Park

The Katy community can find fun, live entertainment, vendors and so much more at this years 10th Anniversary Back to School Bash tomorrow from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Central Green Park in LaCenterra (23501 Cinco Ranch Bld.)

“Going back to school or starting the school year can be filled with excitement,” says Yvonne Arceneaux, Willow Fork Drainage District’s Park Director. “It can also be stressful to some students. The Back to School Bash is a fun atmosphere for kids to meet some of the student they will be going to school with, build excitement for the new year and let them see opportunities that will be available to them.”

Katy’s Central Green Park, located in LaCenterra, is a half-acre public park dedicated to giving Katy families events like fitness classes, free movie nights, live music, and more.

“Our booth vendors offer opportunities to parents and students such as learning a new skill, information about a career, or flourishing in the arts, helping others, getting support they need and building relationships,” says Arceneaux.

The Back to School Bash (August 3, 2024) will feature two stages as the event hosts student bands and student performers.

7:30 p.m. Maddie Kress will make her professional debut
