Experience The Magic
Now through January 4, The Woodlands Waterway® comes alive with more than one million shimmering lights, transforming its 1.8-mile path into a glowing winter wonderland of arches, tunnels and sparkling reflections. Stroll beneath the lights, snap festive photos and enjoy the sights with easy parking at Town Center Garage, Waterway Square Garage and the Orange Lot. Make your visit even more fun by hopping on the free Town Center Trolley for a bright, effortless ride through all the holiday displays.
Add a little adventure with a swan boat cruise from Riva Row Boat House, then lace up your skates at The Ice Rink to keep the seasonal magic going. Plus, on select days, enjoy delicious bites and sweet treats from DonutNV, French Corner and Galexy Concessions near the South Plaza entrance.

 Fall Sweep 2025
The Woodlands Township celebrated another successful Fall Sweep in October during the community’s annual self-guided litter cleanup. This year 113 volunteers across 26 groups logged nearly 150 hours and cleaned over 30 miles of pathways.
Top Cleanup Groups: Individual: The Ellison Family, Group Size 2–10: Vogt Engineering, LLC, Group Size 11–20: TWHS Science NHS, Group Size 20+: YMSL – Klein.
Residents can help maintain the community year-round by organizing their own cleanup. Free supplies—including trash grabbers, bags and gloves—are available, and staff can assist with litter audits. To reserve equipment, email enviro@thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov or call 281-210-3800.

BLACK FRIDAY CROWDS
Black Friday is here, and while the rush is on everywhere else, our pathways remain a place for calm. With winding curves and limited sightlines through the trees, it’s especially important to stay alert and share the space safely.
Stay to the right, pass on the left, keep speeds low and give others space.
If you head out after shopping, watch for families, walkers, bikes and strollers.
A walk on the paths is the perfect way to unwind from the Black Friday chaos!
