This spring's block party will host not only the usual revelry of 50 bands, 6 stages, loads of artists and their installations, but will also hosts events into the evening. To close the evening, Free Press will host national touring acts <span style="font-weight:bold;">And you will know us by the Trail of Dead, Health</span> and several local favorites ( just 10 bux) inside Numbers. Like always, the fest is free and will be located at the 300-500 block of Westheimer. Last November’s Block Party was our most successful with more than 4,000 attendees, excellent local reviews, and a great time had by all. Nonetheless, this spring’s event will host a slew of new elements with an expanded underground arts show, a canned food drive, and our best musical line-up yet. Stages will be hosted at Number’s, Avant Garden, La Strada, and Mangos Cantina. Interspersed between all the great local music will be live painting, exhibits of all sorts, and many ‘cash and carry’ artist booths.<br /><br />Ultimately, this day is going to be so magical you may change your religion and question your own sexuality.
