Where: This free community event, an annual Berkshires tradition since 2014, starts and ends at the Adams Visitor Center at 3 Hoosac Street. We'll explore the cavernous echoes and reverberations of downtown Adams and the newly renovated Adams Theater. The walk begins promptly at 6:00 PM, but participants are encouraged to gather beginning at 5:30 PM.
Children and adults of all ages are warmly invited to join in this free and festive family-friendly event. Participants are encouraged to dress warmly, bring a flashlight or lantern, bring a boombox, phone, Bluetooth speaker, or other creative amplified sound device (the louder the better), and revel in the co-creation of this inviting holiday soundscape.
Prizes will be awarded in three categories:
BEST LIT - awarded to the person or group most festively lit up
BEST LOUD - awarded to the person or group with the most creative amplified audio set-up
BEST OVERALL - awarded to the person or group who best combine the festive and sonic elements of Unsilent Night
A limited number of Kline’s vintage boomboxes and tapes will be available for use on a first-come, first-served basis. All participants are encouraged to think creatively about sound amplification, bring their own boomboxes or other sound-making devices (the louder the better!), and to prepare a cassette tape, CD, or download the mp3 or Unsilent Night app before arriving. The tracks are available at unsilentnight.com/download.
This event is supported in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
