Join Buffalo Bayou Partnership, in collaboration with the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houston and Musiqa for a free interactive holiday event,Unsilent Night from 6-9pm, 7pm is when the “music parade” begins. New York composer, Phil Kline, created this 43-minute piece, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December. It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music that can easily be downloaded on your smart phone – you will be downloading this app when you arrive. When participants play their different “parts” simultaneously, it helps create the special sound of the piece.

Revelers will walk a carefully chosen route along Buffalo Bayou’s Sabine Promenade with holiday stations along the way including cookies and hot chocolate. Prior to the musical parade, Whole Foods Market will have tasty treats available for purchase, including their s’more station, St. Arnold Brewing Company will be serving up some free pours of theirtasty local brew and root beer and plenty of holiday surprises!

Thanks to our event partners St. Arnold Brewing Company andHouston First Corporation.

University of Houston students will bring their “pedal pop-ups” with LifeCycle who will have holiday stamping and Fresh providing bread samples. LifeCycle’s misson: From mountain-biking to just cruising around town, Lifecycle supports the Houston cyclist culture through a participatory bike trailer that promotes Houston biking through hands-on T-shirt designs, bike trail map information and support of local bike shops. The mission of Fresh, A Mobile Farmer’s Kitchen, brings information about the local farmer’s markets in the area and promotes the green benefits for supporting your local farmer. Fresh will both provide the viewers with samples of produce or “creations” with the produce, the recipes we use to make the products, and also various different informational packets on how they can help their community.
