Fest Eugene is for you. Honk! is a “completely volunteer planned, organized and performed” festival, according to its website. It’s family-friendly and centered on community street band culture, offering a variety of music, from Brazilian samba and Afro-beat to hip-hop, Balkan and Romani music. This year, the lineup includes a mix of local favorites, such as Samba Ja and Beat Crunchers, and traveling acts, like The Jefferson Street Parade from Indiana and Humboldt Bandemonium from California. Honk! Eugene is part of a large group of sister festivals in cities throughout America, and as far as Rio de Janeiro. But, wherever it’s taking place, the DIY, community-based attitude of Honk! runs deep. A multitude of local artists and craftspeople have come together to create art for the festival and local businesses are providing goods to “eat, play or raffle,” Honk! co- directors, and members of the band Samba Ja, Ashley Wright and Michael Mazza said in an email to EW. Honk! is “an all volunteer festival that, among other things, aims to involve communities with each other and their open spaces through the joy of performance and music,” says Mazza. Honk! Fest Eugene is from 6-11 pm Saturday, June 10, at Vanilla Jill’s (298 Blair Blvd.) and Ninkasi (272 Van Buren St.) and 2-8 pm Sunday, June 11 at Skinner Butte Park (248 Cheshire Ave).
