The third Honk Fest West will happen this April 9-11. If you like raucous street music, this is the event for you. I’ve been to the last two Honk Fest Wests, and they were a hoot.
This fundraiser will help defray some of the many costs these generous performers incur to bring you the best street music anywhere. Whether you’re a fan of Balkan brass, samba, New Orleans second lines, or other street-music genres, you’ll be happy you helped make this event happen.
