Summer in the Brazos Valley of Texas has kept up a hectic pace with activities, events, festivals, and other opportunities for music, theater, and dance. Fall promises to be even more entertaining.
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend in the BV area, you can find numerous prospects for music and more. Here are a few out-of-the-ordinary event options for you.
Friday, August 24
Navasota 4th Friday Downtown After Dark – The town of Navasota, Texas, hosts its Downtown After Dark evening on Friday. Shops will be open late, restaurants will be cooking, and music will be playing.
Saturday, August 25
Hog Splash – Yes, you heard that right. Hog Splash. As the Hospice BV promo says, Hog Splash will “have you knee-deep in fun.” This annual fundraiser for Hospice BV features teams playing volleyball in an outdoor pit filled with several feet of mud. Check in with Hospice BV if this is something that sounds like fun to do, or just show up in Snook, Texas, on Saturday morning if it sounds like something fun to watch—which it always is.
Aggie Back to School Bash – Kyle Park, Pat Green, and Jacob Bryant will provide music for this year’s Aggie Back to School Bash. While it’s directed at new and returning Texas A&M University students, the Bash is open to the public. It will be held again this year at Wolf Pen Creek Park in College Station, Texas. Tickets are a little pricey (and you might want to purchase them soon), but if you like good music and outdoor festivals, this event should fit the bill.
Sunday, August 26
Cecil Shaw and Jewel Brown, Motown Legends – Shaw and Brown will be appearing at Bernhardt Winery outside Navasota, Texas, on Sunday evening. Among his other remarkable performances, you might remember Shaw from the television series Soul Train. Brown is the original female vocalist of The Louie Armstrong Band and a legendary jazz and blues artist in her own right. Check the Bernhardt Winery website for advance ticket sales—which are highly recommended.
