Urban Unrest

KPFT’s Fall Concert Series is a series of intimate, outdoor performances provided free of charge to the community. Over six Sunday afternoons in the park, KPFT showcases an eclectic mix of musical genres by local talent for the public. Each event is themed and rotated annually to ensure the maximum amount of diversity to the visiting audience. From world music to techno beats and everything in-between, KPFT encompasses Houston’s multi-cultural, multi-generational and musical diversity.ABOUT THE AMBIENCE
