HONK!
This year’s festival will converge in Davis Square, Somerville, MA on October 9-11, 2009.

The HONK! Festival is rapidly approaching; just less than two months time remains between now and the start of festivities on Friday, October 9th.

Groundswell officially kicks off its festival preview (see last year’s coverage here), with a call for participants in the HONK! Parade: Reclaim the Streets for Horns, Bikes, and Feet:

a giant processional performance that will take place Sunday, October 11 from noon to 2 p.m., starting at Davis Square in Somerville and ending at Harvard Square.

Can you and your organization join us this year? We would love to have your participation! It would be great if you could

  1. Let parade organizer John Bell know if you and/or your group are interested and available to help.
  2. Help us get the word out to others: because we need
    - individuals to help with banners, giant puppets, signs, marshalling, etc.; and
    - would welcome the participation of other community groups, clubs, gangs, schools, etc. who might like to create cheap and fantastic big moving street images with us.
  3. Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Disclosure: I am a member of the HONK! Festival organizing committee, and helped put on last year’s event.
