In this week’s episode of "What's Up, College Station?, Recreation Supervisor Jeep Wentsch discusses the City’s packed schedule, anchored by the long-standing Starlight Music Series. Wentsch highlights the series as a free, community-focused event at the Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater, featuring the upcoming Journey/ZZ Top tribute (May 30) and Tejano music night (June 13).

The conversation expands beyond the stage to explore various city programs, including summer camps, birding events at the Gary Halter Nature Center, rentable park pavilions, and the comprehensive Recreation Connection program guide. Wentsch also teases the upcoming I Heart America celebration on July 4, which promises to be the largest in city history to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary.
