One of the most exciting areas of this year's festival is AgVenture—an immersive experience celebrating the agricultural heritage that helped shape Katy into the community it is today.

Explore historic and modern farm equipment, NEW interactive exhibits, and family-friendly activities that connect visitors to the people, innovation, and industry that continue to influence our region. From the earliest days of rice farming to today's cutting-edge agricultural technology, AgVenture offers something for all ages.

A special thank you to Honestly Texas, one of our valued AgVenture partners, for helping us share the story of Texas rice and the agricultural traditions that remain an important part of Katy's identity.

For more than 45 years, the Katy Rice Harvest Festival has been more than just a festival—it has been an investment in the future of our community.

Through the City of Katy's longstanding partnership with the Rotary Club of Katy, the festival helps generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships for Katy ISD students. These scholarships help young men and women pursue higher education, achieve their dreams, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

The students pictured here represent just a small portion of the lives that have been impacted over the years. Behind every scholarship is a story of hard work, determination, and opportunity.

When you attend the Katy Rice Harvest Festival, volunteer, sponsor, or support the event, you are doing more than enjoying a weekend tradition—you are helping change lives.

That is why the festival matters.

That is why this partnership matters.

That is why we continue this tradition year after year.

Together, we are investing in the next generation of leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, first responders, business owners, and community members who will shape the future of Katy.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Katy, our volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and festival attendees for making this impact possible.

We are so excited to welcome this proud patriot to the Katy Rice Harvest Festival on Sunday, October 11 for a day of music, fun, and raising money for scholarships right here in our community.

🌾💛 WE NEED YOUR HELP, KATY! 💛🌾

The Katy Rice Harvest Festival has become one of the largest community events in our region, bringing thousands of visitors to Historic Downtown Katy while raising money for scholarships and community nonprofits.

But we can't do it alone.

Sponsorships make this festival possible, and we're asking for your help in spreading the word. Do you know a local business, corporation, restaurant, contractor, healthcare provider, retailer, or organization that could benefit from exposure before, during, and after the festival?

🎶 Major entertainment including Lonestar and Neal McCoy
🎡 Carnival attractions
🌾 Agventure
🛍 Hundreds of vendors
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Thousands of attendees
📣 Extensive marketing and media coverage

Most importantly, every sponsorship helps us continue giving back to our community. In May alone, more than $100,000 in scholarships was awarded to local students, and festival proceeds continue to support community programs and nonprofit organizations throughout the year.

If you know a business that should be part of this year's festival, please:
✅ Tag them in the comments
✅ Share this post
✅ Connect them with our team

Together, we can make the 2026 Katy Rice Harvest Festival our biggest and most impactful year yet.
