Programming highlights:
Squonk’s Brouhaha in partnership with Houston First
More than just a concert, these musicians bring to the center of their riotous romp a “Squonkcordion” – an enormous musical instrument the audience gets to play. Squonk creates joyful, boisterous outdoor spectacles by fusing fantastical visual design, playful staging, and high-energy original music. Led by Co-Artistic Directors Jackie Dempsey and Steve O’Hearn. The New York Times called Squonk “ingenious, hallucinatory and hypnotic.”
Houston Public Works’ Water Works Festival
Each year, Houston Public Works hosts the Water Works Festival to engage and educate the public about the value of water. Emphasis is on topics such as water conservation, the water cycle, local water systems, native plants, green infrastructure, water quality and ecology. Additionally, attendees can learn about the City’s water supply, water purification plants, wastewater treatment systems, conservation efforts, drought plan, stormwater projects and more. Join us to explore Houston’s commitment to a better tomorrow.
