Free Press Summer Fest is held at Houston’s Eleanor Tinsley Park, located within the beautiful rolling hills of the greater Buffalo Bayou Park. Situated on the very outskirts of downtown, Tinsley Park marries the very best of city and natural settings with its natural grass amphitheater set on the bayou overlooking Houston’s impressive skyline.
The festival will be held on June 5th and 6th with over 50 of your favorite national and local acts performing over the weekend. 2010’s festival welcomes the addition of a third stage and an exciting expansion of the scope and area of artist installations. In addition to the array of sights and sounds, festival-goers can take a break from the heat and browse dozens of local artisan booths, cool off in one of the misting tents and grab an icy cold adult beverage in the shaded beer garden.
Free Press Summer Fest has a strong commitment to keeping the park beautiful and works with the local community and businesses to do so. A portion of proceeds from Free Press Summer Fest benefit Buffalo Bayou Partnership which is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation that is responsible for developing and facilitating improvements to the Buffalo Bayou greenway system.
