Allston DIY Fest

Founded on punk, anarcho-communist, anti-authoritarian family values, the Allston DIY Fest is organized non-hierarchically in a series of open, transparent meetings -- even YOU can join in on the planning/discussion TODAY!

Allston DIY Fest is a free, all-ages, sober festival celebrating DIY culture, freedom of individual expression, community building and alternative education, promoting a gift economy in place of money and oppressive consumerism.

The sustainability of such a wonderful event is the first thing on the minds of the collective that put this together. Allston’s D.I.Y. culture has flourished over the past three years. We hope to see it grow even more.

We encourage everyone to bring their art, non-powered instruments, hoops and other toys to the park!! If you have any questions at all or want to get involved, please email us today! AllstonDIYFest@gmail.com

Please respect the park and respect all the people in it, helping us create a safer space by keeping oppressive language and behavior away. Racism, religious discrimination, sexism, agism, classism, sizeism, ableism, transphobia and homophobia are uncool and unwelcome!!!

We thank you for coming to Allston today - we hope you stay. Remember: Respect the place, clean up after yourself, and let’s continue to build community!

Playing the Park: Doomstar!

Closing out the amplified bicycle stage this year is the one-of-a-kind, DOOMSTAR! Dishing out double doses of psych-rock as appropriate in the hot sun as in dark corridors of cellars. They’re as hot as Saturday is supposed to be but will be keepin’ it cool all the same.
