Honk Fest Providence

Published by Derek under Personal on October 13, 2008

Tonight was amazing. Nathan, Bonnie, and I took part in a parade that turned into the reclaiming of washington and empire street!

We started out in Kennedy plaza enjoying the sounds of different brass bands from around the world. They were all a part of this year’s Honk Fest. After all the bands were ready to move, we started our way in a parade down the sidewalks of downtown Providence. As we started to make our way the crowd pushed its way into the streets and then slowly the bands started to follow our lead. Eventually we were dancing down the street stopping traffic in its tracks. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so alive with the rhythms of music. I wish it could have lasted all night.

Peace and Love
