Mark your calendars Downtown Bryan will be the place to be this fall! In addition to all the
wonderful shops, restaurants and entertainment venues open every day, special events will add even
more opportunities to visit historical downtown and enjoy the ambiance it provides.
September 6 - First Friday
As area students head back to classes, this month's theme is Downtown Loves Kiddos. The
Palace Theatre will host kid-friendly entertainment throughout the evening and, as always,
everyone is invited to the free movie in Gloria Sale Park.
September 27-28 Texas Reds
Now in its 7th year, downtown plays host to Texas Reds, a steak and wine festival. The festival
kicks off Friday evening at 5 p.m. with a vendor and artist showcase, and free admission to a
concert by the David Whiteman Band, a popular dance/party band from the Dallas/Ft. Worth
area. Saturday features wine tastings, a steak cookoff, high school culinary competitions,
and a Downtown Bryan Association stage providing music all day. Downtown restaurants
will serve steak-themed items for patrons. Evening entertainment begins at 7 p.m. with
John Conlee, followed by headliner Steve Wariner. Dedication of the historical plaque
for the Queen Theatre will take place during the festival. This year, the Texas Reds
Festival will be dedicated to our firefighters. A charitable donation will be given in
honor of Ricky Mantey, Jr. and Mitch Moran, and in memory of Greg Pickard and
Eric Wallace, on behalf of each volunteer and sponsor. A percentage of the festival's
proceeds will be donated to the Bryan Firefighters Association to directly benefit
these families.
October 4 First Friday
Grand Slam Poetry takes the stage this month as we also celebrate the arts
and culture that is essential to the vibrancy of downtown.
November 1 First Friday
It's going to be MonuMetal! Leading up to First Friday, teams will spend
weeks creating sculpture from scrap metal to be displayed throughout
downtown. A People's Choice will be declared and the sculptures
will be auctioned to benefit the restoration of the Queen Theatre.
Performing groups from Bryan ISD will provide entertainment at
the Palace Theatre.
November 22 Lights On!
One of the Brazos Valley's most anticipated holiday traditions
the 6th annual Lights On! celebration, will take place on this
Friday evening. Each year, this free event brings hundreds
of people from throughout the community to Historic
Downtown Bryan for an evening of cider, Santa and, of
course, the LIGHTS!
December 6 First Friday
We welcome the entire community to enjoy the sights
and sounds of the holiday season. The theme will be
The Spirit of Giving, and the A&M Consolidated
High School Choir will provide entertainment at The
Palace.
