Programming highlights:
Squonk’s Brouhaha in partnership with Houston First
This year people bring the performance power when Discovery Green presents an immersive outdoor spectacle bursting with rollicking music, dazzling imagery and the thrill of audience participation: Squonk’s Brouhaha.
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.”
Squonk’s Brouhaha performance coincides with Green Mountain Energy Earth Day and the First Robotics Competition held that weekend at the George R. Brown. Get inspired by the collaboration when the music, art and performance of Discovery Green combine with the youthful curiosity of teens at First Robotics.
Houston Public Works’ Water Works Festival

Emphasis is on topics such as water conservation, the water cycle, local water systems, native plants, green infrastructure, water quality and ecology.

Join us to explore Houston’s commitment to a better tomorrow.
