Hot Summer Nights x The Front Market: Transforming Stubb’s Into A Creative Hub

Thanks to the 500+ fans that popped by Red River Cultural District’s second-annual Hot Summer Nights Market, presented in partnership with Future Front and The Front Market.

For one night only during the district’s iconic multi-venue festival, we transformed the back of Stubb’s into a full-on creative hub with local artists, handmade goods, vintage finds, and community conversation.

Hot Summer Nights is a free annual three-day district-wide music and arts festival held in the Red River Cultural District located in the heart of downtown Austin.

Founded in 2017, Hot Summer Nights was originally created in an effort to provide additional revenue to district members, as well as paid opportunities for musicians and artists in the traditionally slower summer months.

Hot Summer Nights Market is an official Future Front Public Space Partnership.

Alongside partners, Future Front pioneers unique, community-based models for cultural programming and place-making initiatives in all kinds of spaces—from museums to city streets to public parks—around three core pillars: Creative Community-Building, Creative Wellness and Creative Belonging.

Over the last decade, we have collaborated directly with like-minded companies and organizations to bring expanded versions of our programs and community design frameworks to the public. We regularly co-found, design, curate and manage a range of public place-making programs with partner organizations, like Pride Picnic.
