Pique

It’s a busy time of year with plenty to do! Whether you’re staying cozy inside at a holiday market or concert, or venturing out to check on the winter trails, have fun!

The winter edition of Pique arrives on Dec. 9, pulling out all the stops with socio-political themes, raging beats and lively visuals. The festival will feature over 20 artists across 10 different stages and exhibitions, spotlighting underground music and unique, experimental artworks to “foster conscious social engagement,” according to organizers Debaser.

The second album by percussion/piano duo SHHH!! Ensemble is a catalogue of the sounds of human impact on the world. It’s an album of the climate crisis featuring the duo’s distinctive take on piano and percussion music.

Whether you want to support local artists, musicians, and food vendors, or check out great social events, arts and culture, get some fitness in—there’s something for everyone! Keep an eye on the weather reports and adjust plans accordingly!
