Spring is in the air, and the Woodlands Online Events Calendar is filling up like you've never seen before. Take a moment and check out our list of the Top 5 things to do this week!

Wednesday, May 3
Head over to The Woodlands Children’s Museum from 11:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. for an Author/Illustrator visit with Ashley Ronald Nelly & Sarah Webster Smith, who will read Bringing Breezy Home (The Adventures of Bay and Breezy: The Dudley Labrador Sisters). This book is the first in the series about two fun-loving, sometimes mischievous Dudley Labrador sisters named Bay and Breezy in Houston, Texas. It’s the story of Bay becoming a big sister. Ashley and Sarah will share the story and also introduce us to the real-life Breezy! After the reading there will be a meet-and-greet where the books will be available for purchase and autographs. All of this is included in the price of admission, which is $8 for adults and children 1 year and older.

We recovered from the recent IRONMAN competition, traffic wise, but the racing fun isn’t over yet, and there will be the street closures to prove it. As one of the premier multi-sport events in the region, the Woodforest Bank TRI offers a beginner-friendly atmosphere, first-rate race management and scenic courses. Produced by The Woodlands Township Parks and Recreation Department, the Woodforest Bank TRI will go down early this morning but it’ll be all over by early afternoon. The event culminates with a festive awards party featuring music, great food and beverages.

At long last! The Santana show scheduled for July 16 of last year at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion has been rescheduled to tonight! Carlos Santana fronts his band the fret-ability of a master guitarist and entertainer. Over the decades, this guy has wailed on the axe, and it’s all coming to The Woodlands.
