The Red, White & Bayou Texas Music Festival & Tailgate kicks off Saturday, September 3, and Sunday, Sept. 4 following a five-year break after Hurricane Harvey. 

Dickinson started hosting the festival in May 2009, making it an annual tradition until 2017, when 80 percent of the city was flooded because of Harvey and the festival was forced to be on hold.

"The City of Dickinson is elated to bring back this time-honored tradition in the City," Dickinson Mayor Sean Skipworth said in a press statement. "We have spent the last five years since Harvey rebuilding and growing into the community we are today. We hope the entire region will celebrate Labor Day weekend with us in Dickinson with live country music, food, and family."
