Born out of a need for street bands to celebrate their social activist side,
the increasingly popular <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>HONK! Festival</span></b>
is back for a 5<sup>th</sup> year with opportunities galore for participants
and festival goers to enjoy themselves immensely.  Rain or shine on
Columbus Day weekend, October 8-10, the streets primarily in and around Davis
Sq. and spilling out into Harvard Square will be teeming with bands raising a
good time ruckus.<br>
<br>
The confirmed <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>HONK!</span></b> band count is
currently at 25, with one to two new ones being added weekly.  But when
the final count is in, this year up to 30, there’ll still be no stopping
individuals who suddenly feel the need to jump in at the last minute.  In
today’s parlance, HONK! 2010 already has an app for that! 
Opportunities abound not only for festival invitees but for the spur of the
moment merry maker, including a chance to play music with the October 10<sup>th</sup>
impromptu “community band” made up of individual musicians, who are
not affiliated with any of this year’s HONK! bands, but are interested in
participating in the gigantic <b><font color=black><span style='color:black;

The HONK! Festival is a good idea coming to fruition.<b><span style='font-weight:
bold'>  </span></b>A need had been identified, not only on the part of
musicians — of a particular persuasion — who have a penchant for
gathering to raise a awareness about issues that need attention.  But also
a need is there on the part of the audience — not necessarily of any
persuasion — to bask in the glow of this unusual phenomenon.<font
color=navy><span style='color:navy'><br>
<br>
</span></font>As often as bands congregate to HONK in protest, they also
perform to celebrate the causes and institutions they support: multicultural
festivals, peace conferences, social forums, artists’ collectives,
community gardens, block parties, neighborhood fundraisers, relief benefits and
homeless shelters.  In every case, the HONKers’ ultimate goal is to
have fun, to relish the art of making fun as a form of individual and collective
transcendence, and to encourage others to see and do the same.<br>
<br>
The HONK! Festival Committee would like to give special thanks to the following
for their support of this year’s HONK! Festival: <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>City of Somerville</span></b>, the <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>Somerville Arts Council</span></b>, <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>RESIST</span></b>, <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Harvard
Square Business Association</span></b>, <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Davis
Square businesses</span></b>, and last but not least, the local <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>Davis Square community</span></b>, whose support in
terms of in-kind donations of food and public services, housing for upwards of
300 musicians, and cash contributions, is vital to keeping the HONK! effort
going.<br>
