VIEW THE CALENDAR

As Labor Day approaches, residents are reminded to host their end-of-summer parties with these Good Neighbor habits in mind.

Remind your guests to avoid parking on both sides of the street. This allows first responders to respond to calls quickly.
Keep your outdoor music to a moderate level, particularly later into the evening.
Monitor your BBQ pit at all times. Never leave a pit or grill unattended as this may pose a fire hazard.
Remember that the use of home fireworks is prohibited in The Woodlands. Join the Township for a fireworks show, weather permitting!

The Woodlands Township wishes you a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
