Who founded Day for Night?
Founding context
Before Day for Night, Afra had founded the Houston publication Free Press Houston in 2003 and co-founded Free Press Summer Fest in 2009. Day for Night took a different format: a December festival built around light installations and visual art shown alongside music performances.
The Houston Chronicle profiled Afra and the festival's origins in December 2017. Consequence of Sound named Day for Night its Festival of the Year in 2017.
Record summary
Surviving production documents — the 2015 final site map, the 2016 public site map and the 2017 production schedule — are held by the Free Press Houston Archive. Lineups and edition history are documented on the Day for Night history page.
