RAILFEST 2015 is coming on Saturday, May 23, a celebration of the grand opening of two new light-rail lines: The Green Line (East End) and the Purple Line (Southeast).

The grand opening of these two new lines will feature a city-wide party at BBVA Compass Stadium, featuring Ne-Yo, the award-winning American R&B singer/songwriter. METRORail will offer free rides on May 23.

The musical acts will offer something for everyone. The Ernest Walker Band, a jazz group from the Southeast area, and the Zenteno Spirit, a Latin jazz group from the East End, will start the show. Later, the Latin R&B singer Frankie J. will perform for 45 minutes. At 7:45 p.m., Ne-Yo, who won a Grammy in 2009 for “Miss Independent,” will conclude the program. Mayor Annise Parker and METRO officials are scheduled to speak.

The evening will be capped by a dazzling display of fireworks.
