Thursday, June 13, 2024 by Chad Swiatecki
The Red River Cultural District has announced that 14 music venues and concert spaces have signed on to participate in this year’s Hot Summer Nights three-day music festival. The run of free performances featuring all local artists will take place July 18-20. Participating venues are:
• Cheer Up Charlies
• Chess Club
• Creek & Cave
• Elysium
• Empire Control Room & Garage
• Flamingo Cantina
• Liberty Lunch
• Mohawk
• Stubb’s Bar-B-Q
• Swan Dive
• The 13th Floor
• Valhalla
• Vaquero Taquero
• Waterloo Park
Hot Summer Nights, which was launched in 2017, is the summer counterpart to January’s Free Week, when clubs in the RRCD host free concerts as a way to attract patrons in the post-holiday touring lull. Participating artists, which will be announced soon, are compensated via support from an assortment of sponsored and community partners. The RRCD is still working with city staff and City Council members to secure funding – possibly up to $300,000 – for the organization that was approved by Council earlier this year.
