According to email from the city, Elm Street will be closed from Dover St. to Cutter Ave. on Saturday from noon to 9 pm for the Honk! Festival.  In previous years, the street has remained open for the festival, but the city decided this year that the crowds of people would be safer without traffic.

As usual, the street will also be closed for the Honk! parade on Sunday, from 10 am to 1 pm.

Hi Folks,

Here's a fun, beneficial event in it's 6th year that's sponsored by our friends at First Church Somerville:

DRAG GOSPEL FESTIVAL 2016 Benefits the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force!

Sat. Oct. 15, 6-9 p.m. at Club Café, 209 Columbus Ave, Boston. Drag Show! All ages, no cover, love offerings and tips benefit the Task Force

Sun. Oct. 16, 10 a.m., First Church Somerville, 89 College Ave, Davis Sq, Somerville, Drag Gospel Worship! All welcome. Brunch after. Come in drag or come as you are! Love offerings benefit the Task Force

“The higher the hair, the closer to God.”  - Dolly Parton
Contacts:
James Adams/Serenity Jones [email protected]

It’s back! It’s wilder, weirder, and wackier than ever! DRAG GOSPEL FESTIVAL is blazing with bling, dripping with dazzling drag divas, and loudly, proudly full of PRAISE!
All to benefit the LGBT Asylum Support Task Force, which helps LGBT asylum seekers fleeing homophobic persecution in their home countries. Often victims of rape and torture, they are legally unable to work in the USA for a year or longer while they seek political asylum. The Task Force gives them a safe home, food, and other basics of life until they receive a work permit and can legally support themselves.

On Saturday, October 15, the drag divas mix it up at Club Café, Boston! All ages show in the glamorous environs of Boston’s most famous LGBT-friendly club. Featuring: Drag Festival Mama, Serenity Jones; magnificent MC and scintillating songstress from NYC and Philadelphia, Sapphira Cristal; special Guests Mizery; Kamden T. Rage, and others TBA! (To Be Admired, that is).  Soulful sounds from Project Soul and more!
Wear your dancing shoes! Bring lots of dollar bills to tip the drag queens. All tips and love offerings benefit LGBT Asylum Task Force.

On Sunday, October 16, join Drag Gospel Worship and “get dragged to church!” You’ll never think of church quite the same way again. Come as your favorite drag king or queen or come as you are – all welcome! Love offering for the Task Force. Brunch to follow in the fellowship hall.

Redbones will have an Oktoberfest on Chester Street this Sunday, September 25 from noon to 6 pm. (rain date Sunday, October 2)

Unlike in some past years, this does not conflict with the HONK Parade and Harvard Square Oktoberfest, and it appears to involve only Redbones and not other Davis Square restaurants.

I saw a poster in Davis Square announcing a 'Crustafarian' reggae music and pizza festival in Seven Hills Park, tomorrow (Saturday 6/25) from 1 to 5 pm. It is sponsored by the new Oath Craft Pizza.

I can't find a real web page for this festival, just this Facebook event.

WHAT’S HAPPENING:
The Somerville Squeezebox Slam is a celebration of accordions, button boxes and other free reed instruments that we’ve come to know and love. Accordionists of all sizes, shapes, skill levels and musical genres are invited to stroll around the neighborhoods of Somerville, sharing their melodious sounds, and like pied pipers from an alternative fairy tale, beckon all to come and follow them as they head to Davis Square for a concert of some of New England’s finest squeezebox players. So dust off your grandfather’s squeezebox that’s been sitting in the attic and join us for an afternoon of pumping the bellows!
Presented by the Nave Gallery and the Somerville Arts Council; produced by Michael McLaughlin.

Hi all
Our band has an out of town gig this Saturday night and even though the timeslot for the Davis Porchfest is from 4-6, the officials have graciously allowed our porch to open from 2-4. Everyone is welcome to come by then and at the end of the set, you'll be already in place to hear the rest of the great bands in Davis!
Should be a fun Somerville weekend :) 161-163 Elm Street (between Posto and Ace Wheelworks)
