Get spooky at Tacoma’s first annual HONK! Fest on Oct 21st, 2023 in the McKinley Hill neighborhood. Put on your favorite costume (Galloping Gertie anyone?) and bring a funky noisemaker. Meet your neighbors, local musicians, maybe even join a band!
Tacoma HONK! Fest is an accessible community music festival driven by the energetic performances of street bands in public spaces. And it’s free of charge!
Tacoma HONK! Fest will feature performances by HONK! bands from the PNW and local cultural groups at two locations throughout the day. Instead of formal stages, bands will be moving and marching and dancing around. The audience is always welcome to join in!
We encourage you to walk, bike, or take public transit to the festival. Feel free to walk (or dance) between the two stage areas set up in the McKinley Hill business district.
Tacoma HONK! is hosted by Tacomarama Community Street Band, sponsored by HONK! Festival West, and made possible with funding from Tacoma Venues and Events
