Benchmark years only. Each entry links to the archive material that carries it; outside reporting, where it is listed, corroborates the entry rather than establishing it.
The paper's own run begins. The archive's earliest recovered Free Press Houston editions for the year are catalogued by issue, with covers where a scan or supplied photograph survives.
Free Press Houston starts the Westheimer Block Party at Westheimer and Taft, a free street festival built around Numbers, AvantGarden, Mango's and La Strada. It is where the paper learns festival production.
The spring program was scheduled for April 29, rained out, and given an announced May 27 rain date whose completion is not conclusively documented in the held run. A second edition took place November 4.
The inaugural two-day Free Press Summer Fest is held August 8—9 at Eleanor Tinsley Park, a collaboration between Free Press Houston and Pegstar.
The festival's held production record — site maps, billboard proofs, stage guides and posters — documents an event operating at citywide scale in its fifth year.
Held 2014 issues, mastheads and festival production files show the paper, Summer Fest and its production arm running as a single organisation.
The first Day for Night is held in December in downtown Houston. Earlier the same autumn Free Press Houston co-produces the HOU Decide mayoral debates with KHOU 11 and Houston Public Media.
The second edition is staged at the former Barbara Jordan Post Office at 401 Franklin Street, the site recorded across the festival's held production and licensing documents.
The third and final edition draws national coverage, and Consequence of Sound names Day for Night its festival of the year.
Free Press Houston's recovered publishing record closes in 2018. The archive holds the corpus of articles, issues, artwork and production material that survives from the run.
