All About Allston Village Street Fair
Allston Village Street Fair is the annual event that best underlines what distinguishes our neighborhood: its rich, multicultural heritage, youthful vibe and contemporary art scene. It’s even dubbed as Boston’s Hippest Multicultural Festival! Read all about it here.
About the Allston Village Street Fair
Organized by the residents of Allston-Brighton, this year’s festival kicks off the fall season on Sunday, September 29, 2019. Celebrations will start at noon and continue until 6pm. Think of this festival as a block party held on Harvard Avenue, between Cambridge Street and Brighton Avenue. Admission and entertainment are free!
What Entertainment Can You Expect?
Since this is a multicultural festival, entertainment will focus on diversity. There will be more than 30 live performances from two outdoor stages. Some of the bands include Dominic Smith, aka The Black Bon Jovi, Daniel Laurent, Kaylee Federmann, DJ Daz-One and DJ Fab. Apart from the two stages, street performers will be weaving their way through the crowd, playing music, dancing or showing off their skills.
This year’s theme will be “Urban Mardi Gras,” so get ready to be transported to New Orleans—with a family-friendly approach. Dress in Mardi Gras colors: green, purple and gold, and see how many beads you can snag!
