Fest West is sponsored by Shunpike. For more information or press queries, please contact [email protected] FEST WEST www.honkfestwest.org • [email protected] • 206 954 7913 What is Honk! Fest West? We have partnered with Shunpike, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports the arts, as our fiscal sponsor. Donations to HONK! Fest West 2016 through Shunpike are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law, and may be eligible for employer matching. HONK! Fest West is an accessible community music festival driven by the energetic performance of street bands in public spaces. HONK! festivals are a different sort of music festival: they are part of a global renaissance of community street band culture that provides music by the people for the people. We at HONK! Fest West are thrilled to be a local mainstay of this musical renaissance. HONK! Fest West 2016’s mission is to celebrate community music in the public spaces of Seattle with free fanfare performances representing diverse musical influences. Like all HONK! festivals, HONK! Fest West is family friendly and for the benefit of creating community. Our festival is part musical gathering and part community activism. Whether we play an instrument or not, all of us have found that live, energetic, mobile, acoustic music brings audience and band together in something like a raucous, playful family. Come HONK! with us! Honk! Fest West 2016 Events All events free unless otherwise noted. HONK! bands are typically acoustic and mobile, often politically aware and articulate, and always high spirited. There is a rich community ethic amongst many HONK!ers, who use their music to erode the barriers between professional and novice, and between audience and performers. Thursday, June 16, 2016 - Georgetown, 8 PM - 2 AM Honk! Fest West Launch Party Georgetown Stables $5 - $15 suggested donation Although uniforms are sometimes used as a performance tool, individuality is key, and group members often hail from all range of classes, ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds. Perhaps most importantly, the HONK!ers’ ultimate goal is to relish the art of making fun as a form of individual and collective transcendence, and to encourage others to see and do the same.

Northlake Way, Seattle These original and renegade ‘marching bands’ take to the streets with a common purpose: sharing music with the public, shattering exclusionary principles and defying simple categorizations. Participating bands cover everything from Klezmer to punk; second-line Tremé to soul-filled samba; Balkan bloc brass to Bollywood beats. Whether four or forty members, each band is a composition of volunteer performers delivering a musical carnival for all. Sunday, June 19, 2016 - Columbia City Honk!
