Art & Cultural Events List

The Somerville Arts Council and the Inside-OUT September Exhibit celebrates the artists of HONK ! In this month's exhibit, three photographers: Ben Greenberg, Mark Dannenhauer, & Jesse Edsell-Vetter, capture of the essence of the three day music street festival right in the heart of Davis Square. About HONK! The HONK! Festival is a revolutionary street spectacle of never-before-seen proportions that will converge for the seventh time in Davis Square, Somerville, MA, from Friday, October 5 through Monday, October 8, 2012! Across the country and around the world, a new type of street band is emerging. Acoustic and mobile, borrowing repertoire and inspiration from a diverse set of folk music traditions – New Orleans second line brass bands, European Klezmer, Balkan and Romani music, Brazilian Afro Bloc and Frevo traditions, as well as the passion and spirit of Mardi Gras and Carnival– these "honkers" all share a commitment to several core principles. Metaphorically speaking, they honk their horns for the same reasons motorists honk theirs: to arouse fellow travelers, to warn of danger, to celebrate milestones, and to just plain have fun.
