It’s time to fire things up with the fifth annual Ignite festival! To celebrate Union Square’s sizzling food landscape we bring you an evening of international eats, fire throwers, roving entertainment, and a raucous celebration of global culture, including a bhangra dance party at the end to cap things off! A few of our food vendors include: Casa B, India Palace, Cantina La Mexicana, Union, Juice Union, Mineirao, Himalayan Kitchen, and the Arts Council’s Nibble Culinary Entrepreneurs.


There will be a ton of kid-friendly activities such as face painting, henna, and an interactive storytelling about the Chinese lion dance where kids will get to try on the lion dance costume!
There will also be food demos, interactive activities and the Boston Circus Guild will dance with fire! Also on deck: craft vendors, roving performers, bachata dancers, magicians, the Fine Arts Superheroes, fortune telling, a mime, and more!


And don’t forget to bring a contribution to the festival’s first canned food drive, benefiting the Somerville Homeless Coalition! It’s easy– just bring a can or two of food to the festival.


Suggested donation: $2: You’ll get a cool tiger sticker!
