Fall Edition

Stude Park · Houston, TX 77007

A community hang

We're bringing the DJ setup, sound system, and a community grill to the park. The rest is up to the community — come dance, lounge, flow, connect, grill, or simply enjoy the music and the surroundings.

Throughout the afternoon, local DJs will rotate through the decks in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Whether you're there to play, listen, cook, or hang out, everyone is welcome.

This is not a show or a party — it's a community hang with music as the backdrop.
