Top Things to Do This Week in The Woodlands – January 26 - February 1, 2026

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Quote of the week: “If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.” – H.G. Wells

We’ve survived the stormy, icy weekend relatively unscathed, but this Monday would best be spent indoors, or at least off the roads until the temperatures get above freezing. While the rest of the work week will be relatively benign, you’d best brace yourselves for another weekend of freezing rain. All that being said, let’s not let the weather dampen our spirits as we check out some of the amazing events planned for The Woodlands area.
