Annually attended by over 200,000 people, Harvard Square’s Oktoberfest features food from all over the world, arts, crafts, vintage goods, sidewalk sales and one-of-a-kind gifts. The highlight of the festival is undoubtedly the Honk! Parade. In its ninth year, the Honk! movement, which celebrates "taking back the streets for horns, bikes and feet,"  has become a global phenomenon. This year, 27 Honk! bands from around the country, as well as a Russian band and an all-girl band from Paris, march from Davis Square in Somerville to Harvard Square. Spectators are treated to a horn-tooting, hand-clapping, foot-stomping, mind-blowing spectacle and are welcomed to join the back of the parade and make their way to Oktoberfest! This annual celebration of fall features six stages of live music, including a Passim stage, a rock stage and, on the main stage, an all-Honk! revue. Dancing in the streets is encouraged. In addition to food, music, dancing, children’s activities, street vendors and lots of sampling, Harvard Square’s Oktoberfest boasts five beer gardens hosted by Grafton Street; Charlie’s Kitchen; Alden and Harlow; John Harvard’s Brew House; and FiRE + iCE.
