The experience
What's special
Allston DIY Fest was a free, all-ages, donation-based community festival in Ringer Park built around a do-it-yourself, anti-commercial punk and indie ethos. Two stages -- one electric (at times bike-generator powered), one acoustic -- ran alongside workshops, skillshares, a "really free market," and local art, record, and zine vendors, all organized on a volunteer, non-hierarchical basis by neighborhood organizers.
Last time around (2013)
The most recent confirmed edition -- the festival's fourth annual staging -- was scheduled for August 24 in Ringer Park after the city's parks department reversed an earlier permit denial tied to noise and parking complaints from prior years. The preliminary lineup split an electric stage (including Guerilla Toss and Ovlov) and an acoustic stage, alongside the event's usual workshops, skillshares, and free market.
