Top Things to Do This Week in The Woodlands – June 29 - July 2, 2026

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Quote of the week: “If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.” – Thomas Aquinas

Miraculously, we’re still in the moderate weather zone, with high temperatures settling around the mid 90s and a mixture of sun, cloud, and rains. Watch out for that humidity, though; it will make you feel like you’re outside in triple-digit temperatures! Here’s a sampling of some events for you to enjoy, indoors and out. And keep an eye out for our special Top Things to Do This July 4 Holiday Weekend in The Woodlands list coming later this week!

Monday, June 29
Join Canopy Cancer Survivorship Center and their Life In-Between Support Group in a comfortable setting to discuss late-stage cancer diagnosis. Survivors come together to share support, encouragement, and information. Talking to others who share a similar situation can help reduce anxiety and teach us how to live fully in between difficult times. All guests are welcome regardless of treatment location.
