The final piece of Katy’s Historic Downtown revitalization was completed this week with the addition of the new Katy Corner Geese structure. This familiar and iconic structure represents resilience, tradition, and the spirit of Katy.
The It’s a wrap for the final phase of the historic town square's multi-year renovation project. This final project brings Katy's iconic geese sculptures to a new location in the heart of future community events. Find the new Katy Corner Geese structure at the corner of Avenue C and 2nd Street, right here on the Historic Town Square across from City Hall.
"For decades, Katy’s rice fields were a vital source for millions of migratory snow geese, creating an iconic scene that became part of the city’s identity,” says Kaci Maris, City of Katy Tourism and Marketing Event Coordinator. “The geese were more than just seasonal visitors — they were a symbol of our agricultural heritage and the natural beauty of the Katy Prairie.”
The City of Katy took great care in the plans for the geese. From irrigation plans to landscaping, electrical engineering to font choices, every detail was carefully crafted with love for the community.
“The newly installed geese sculptures at Katy Corner are a beautiful tribute to that history and a meaningful addition to the revitalization of downtown. As our city continues to grow and thrive with new shops, restaurants, murals, events, and a welcoming visitor center, the geese remind us of where we came from and why Katy is such a special place to visit — and to call home," says Maris.
The statue will be easily seen at community events as the City of Katy Historic Town Square is the place to be in this community for many events including the upcoming Katy Rice Festival.
The 44th Katy Rice Festival is October 11-12, 2025 and celebrating the return of the carnival in new and bigger exciting entertainment this season.
Tickets recently went on sale for the event, and the city is looking for enthusiastic volunteers. Learn more in our story.
The City of Katy Historic Town Square is home both new and familiar shops, places to eat, but it is a place where people gather to celebrate community.
Now Katy families and visitors can enjoy the Katy Corner Geese structure.
“This is the hometown people dream of,” states the City of Katy on their social media, “And it’s yours.”
