Join BBP and University of Houston Downtown on December 12 for Unsilent Night! Experience this festive and interactive holiday event in the great outdoors. Unsilent Night is a sound sculpture created when many individuals simultaneously play one of four music tracks by composer Phil Kline. The procession will be leaving from UHD down to the trails along Buffalo Bayou around 6:30pm and Yelp will be handing out mittens!
Prior to the procession, enjoy hot chocolate and Bayou Blend coffee from Katz Coffee, local brew from Saint Arnold Brewing Company and holiday cookies. Invite family and friends for kids crafts and BodyJam led by YMCA of Houston, music and more! This event is free but please RSVP.
Following the procession, join us for an after party on the rooftop of the Sunset Coffee Building to continue the holiday spirit with music, brew and treats. Sparkling clothes, hats and all manner of twinkling are encouraged. Prizes will be given for the most illuminating costume!
All Christmas Cruises are now sold out.
