Navasota designated as music-friendly community

NAVASOTA, Texas ( FOX 44 ) – Governor Greg Abbott has announced that the City of Navasota has been designated as the 67th Music Friendly Texas Certified Community by the Texas Music Office (TMO).

This comes after the city completed the multi-step certification process. The Music Friendly Texas program was introduced by TMO in 2016 and seeks to foster music business-related economic development and job creation in Texas cities and communities.

The city says the Music Friendly Texas Community Certification Ceremony will be held on Saturday, October 19, during the Navasota Blues Music Festival. The event will be co-hosted by TMO, the City of Navasota and Visit Navasota.

The ceremony will take place at Navasota River Halls, located at 2692 TX-105, and will include city officials and community leaders. TMO Community Relations and Outreach Specialist Gini Mascorro will present the designation.

The city says this event is open to the public, but the Navasota Blues Music Festival featuring Texas music legend lan Moore requires a ticketed entry.
