Free Week 2024 returns on January 5 and 6, and with it comes an assortment of restaurant discounts in conjunction with the 20-year-old free music festival.

The Red River Cultural District, which hosts the Downtown entertainment district’s annual Free Week, established to help keep clubs and bars afloat during slow winter months, has secured some promotional discounts for folks who want to grab dinner before checking out a show during the first weekend of 2024. These deals include:

  • Two tacos and a draft beer for $10 at Pelons Tex Mex
  • Two tacos and a beer for $12 at Vaquero Taquero
  • Meatball hero for $10 at Marinara Miracles
  • 10% off all food items at Stubb’s BBQ
  • $4 pizza slices at Hoboken Pie

    • If none of these joints gets you salivating like Pavlov’s sainted hounds, there are plenty of other nearby restaurants at which to fuel up before rocking out, including Arlo’s, Ditty Dog, and Koriente.

    Organizers also announced two additions to the Free Week lineup, with Me Nd Adam and Bright Light Social Hour headlining the Empire stage on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Be sure to check out our coverage of Free Week, including venues, bands, and more.
