HONK! Fest (Friday, 10/10 to Monday, 10/13), the original festival of
activist brass bands, is back for its third year making righteous music in
Davis Square, parading from Davis to Harvard Sq., breaking it all down for
you at Tufts, and spreading the word to Providence. Twenty-five bands are
coming this year from all over the country and the world, including old
favorites from past years and bands that are sure to be new favorites.
