Hot Nights, Cool Tunes is one of the highlights of the summer in Brenham & Washington County! And it is not just a one-time event. Bring your lawn chair and your friends, and join the fun each Saturday evening in July (excluding July 4) for live music in historic Downtown Brenham. Admission and parking are free. Food and drinks are available for purchase at local downtown businesses. The west end of Alamo Street features a classic car show by Stray Katz Car Club, which is always a family favorite.
The music begins with the Summer Showcase! Local talent will be performing on stage in Alamo Alley (next to 115 W. Main St, Brenham) every Saturday of Hot Nights Cool Tunes from 5:00-6:30pm. This year, free Blue Bell ice cream floats will be given out during every performance until it is sold out!

The headliner bands start playing at 7:00 pm and ends around 9:00 pm. Come early for shopping, food, car show, and the local music!
*Please note that due to the courthouse renovations, the party has been moved to the Commerce Street parking lot, just one block from the square.
