Honk! Festival

Somerville Theatre

The fourth annual Honk! Festival - with more than two dozen "activist street bands " from around the world, Bologna to Boston, Rio (Olympics!) to Rome, New Orleans to Seattle - begins Friday in communities from East Boston to Chinatown and Dorchester. Saturday, they gather and play in Somerville's Davis Square from noon to 9 pm. And on Sunday, with Bread & Puppet Theatre and a variety of other arts groups in tow, they'll parade from Davis to Harvard Square (noon-2 pm), play the Harvard Square Oktoberfest (2-6 pm), and then return to Davis Square for a blowout finale (8 pm-midnight) at the Somerville Theatre. It's all free but for that final show. It runs October 9-11 | Somerville Theatre [Sunday-evening concert], 55 Davis Square, Somerville | 8 pm | $10 | www.honkfest.org
