Free
Press Houston is proud to announce the 2009 Free Press Summer Fest.
This music and arts festival will be held August 8th and 9th at Buffalo
Bayou's Eleanor Tinsley Park and will feature more than 40+ national
and local musical performers, visual arts, and games. Confirmed to
headline are BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, OF MONTREAL, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY,
THE SWORD, WHAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS, OCTOPUS PROJECT. The park will
host 2 stages, dozens of local artist booths, a craft beer garden,
games, and several 'cooling elements' such as a misting tent to help
attendees stage cool in the hot sun. Free Press Houston intends to make
this greener than your average festival with a recycling program,
carbon off-set credits, and a partnership with the Texas Campaign for
the Environment. Participants are encouraged to wear bathing suits and
loose fitting clothing. Free water will be available on site.
Additionally, a portion of proceeds will go to Project Row Houses which
is a community non-profit that is responsible for restoration, art, and
social activism in Houston's Third Ward since 1991. Entry cost for the
event is only 7 dollars per day via advanced ticket sales at
www.freepresssummerfest.com. For more info contact Omar Afra at
