Houston's highly anticipated music festival, Free Press Summer Fest, reopened Saturday evening after being evacuated because of lightning.

At 8:03 p.m., festival organizers posted a note on Twitter indicating that festival goers could now re-enter Eleanor Tinsley Park. Fans were encouraged to check the festival's website for an updated schedule.

Earlier, the official FPSF emergency site posted an alert asking festival goers to "calmly make [their] way toward the nearest exit" and wait for further information.

The event's Twitter page posted an update around 6:40 p.m. telling people that the event was still under an evacuation delay but is not canceled, and they will send updates through their app and social media when it's safe to return to the park.

At 7 p.m., FPSF tweeted: "We are watching another approaching storm cell and could be delayed another hour. We will update set times ASAP."

The rain did not deter people from going out and having a good time at the festival.
