“Gaits” is an immersive, site-specific music procession featuring commissioned compositions by Lainie Fefferman, Jascha Narveson and Cameron Britt in which the wonders of our everyday technology transform participants’ movements into musical Improvisations. Paraders use a free app that captures the GPS coordinates and velocities of their movements to trigger a variety of twinkling metallic sounds, electric guitar chords, dulcimer notes, water splashes, car horns and applause – empowering marchers to effortlessly make music while interacting with their environment and each other.

Harmonica virtuoso Jiayi He (America’s Got Talent) teaches everyone to play the harmonica and leads participants in a holiday classics jam session to showcase their new skills. All skill levels and ages are welcome! 

Join us for a festive evening of fun and flatfooting as we parade along North Flatbush Avenue and stop by local businesses to share music and cheer! We'll celebrate the Winter Solstice by generating some light and warmth on the shortest day of the year. Hosted by North Flatbush Avenue BID and Porch Stomp, in partnership with Make Music New York and the City Stompers!
