Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night — America’s favorite boombox parade — returns to Athens!
Gather at Little Kings Shuffle Club (223 W Hancock Ave.). We’ll step off shortly thereafter and parade through downtown and the UGA quad.
This is a free, family-friendly event that lasts about 45 minutes.
It is kind of a miracle — a nonsectarian piece of wondrous music that makes Athens and the season come alive for a fleetingly brief time.
In past years, our Athens walkers have included Kishi Bashi and ACC Mayor Kelly Girtz, who made this proclamation in 2022.
A Flagpole piece explains it all: flagpole.com/topstory/2022/12/21/phil-klines-winter-soundscape-unsilent-night-turns-30
Most participants use a phone and an external Bluetooth speaker for maximum volume — see the Participate page for tips.
Parking should be relatively easy the Saturday before Christmas, but there’s a deck two blocks away on Washington St.
