Honk! Festival of Activist Street Bands



Honk! is a festival that takes place every year in Davis Square, full of music, activism and general happy weirdness.  Bands from all over the country come to play one hours sets in locations around Davis and then do a march from Davis Square to Harvard Square.  We got a preview when Jake and I stumbled upon one of the bands on a Friday night out (see: A Little Night Music), and we just had to come back for more.  





The people at this festival - families, hippies, musicians, music lovers, old couples, activists, and weirdos of all sorts - had one thing in common: they really knew what was important in life.  There was music and dancing and just a generally joyful atmosphere.  It was a great reminder to live in the moment, have passion for life, and just smile.
