Twenty years ago, the first HONK! Festival was held in Davis Sq, Somerville, as a celebratory public dissent. Today, street music, as practiced by brass bands to promote community-building, art, and activism, is more important than ever.
The 2025 HONK! U Conference will include presentations, panel discussions, conversations, and workshops addressing the development and expansion of HONK! as a world-wide grassroots phenomenon.
Further details, including a link to register in advance, can be found at https://honkfest.org/2025-festival/conference-2025/. The Conference is free and open to all.
