It’s that time of year again: the Starling Music series will be running from April 16 to July 2 at Wolf Pen Amphitheater. Every year, the city of College Stations invites performers and guests to Wolf Pen Creek for music, fun, and more. This year in particular, the event is letting YOU choose the music. Guests will vote on their favorite performer for the final show on July 2, finally letting the audience be the critics.
The event is free for all ages, and guests are allowed and encouraged to bring a cooler full of food and drinks. No glass containers or kegs are allowed, and your pets will have to stay at home.
