Residents of New Caney and the neighboring town of Porter have a full weekend of community activities ahead. From September 18 through September 20, the East Montgomery County Fair Association continues its ten‑day fair, while local venues host special events that cater to families, adults and those looking to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
East Montgomery County Fair & Rodeo
The fair, which runs from September 11 to September 20, remains a centerpiece of the weekend. Visitors can enjoy rodeo competitions, livestock shows, barbecue cook‑offs and live music. Admission to the livestock show is free, and the event takes place at Bull Sallas Park, 21679 McClesky Road in New Caney. The schedule of remaining activities is available on the fair’s website.
Dukes & Boots – Adults‑Only Waterpark Night
For adults seeking a night of fun after the fair’s daytime bustle, the Dukes & Boots event offers after‑hours access to select attractions at Big Rivers Waterpark & Adventures. The evening includes a live country‑music DJ and specialty cocktails for purchase. Attendees must be 21 or older and present a valid ID. The event runs on September 18 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and costs $19.99. It is located at 23101 Highway 242 in New Caney.
Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
The R.B. Tullis Library is honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with a family‑focused celebration in its large meeting room. The library event provides a welcoming space for families to learn about Hispanic culture, enjoy activities and connect with community resources. No admission fee is listed, and the library encourages attendance from all ages.

All events are subject to change, so visitors should check the fair’s official schedule and the waterpark’s website for any updates.
