Creditors who had a stake in the Day for Night music and art festival announced they'll be selling the event, as well other "assets and financial interests" of Omar Afra, the former Free Press Houston editor and founder of Day for Night.

Though Day for Night could be revived in the future, it won't be staged this December, finally confirming what fans of the event already knew.
