Johnny's Summary
Sure, they'll have live music and the ubiquitous vendors and food, 10am-9pm. But the parade at 10am from Boston Common is the real draw to this festival, and African-themed fests are rare. I'm sure the upbeat yet disorderly and not very useful website is a good metaphor for the festival: lots of fun, kinda crazy. ,
