The HONK! Festival is a revolutionary street spectacle of never-before-seen proportions that converged on Davis Square in Somerville, MA on October 10-12, 2008!
Tomorrow, December 9, Tufts University will screen a student documentary, HONK!: No Noise Is Illegal, at 7:00PM. The film explores the 2008 HONK! festival through the perspectives of both performers and participants. Discussion will follow, and I will be speaking on the panel. Please get in touch for further details.
Greg Cook captured the HONK! Festival parade in photographs. Above, Rude Mechanical Orchestra, below, Boston’s chapter of Bikes Not Bombs. Much more to come!

As with much of our other work, we like making print-it-yourself versions available, and with the permission of the HONK! organizing committee, you’ll find print-ready PDFs available below. Feel free to spread widely!
Also, if you’re local to the Boston area and could help post these around town (or otherwise volunteer for HONK!) please let us know!
