It's a Monster of a Festival
The eighth annual "What the Fluff?" festival roars in Union Square this Saturday and we're gonna have a monster of a time.
What the Fluff?: A Tribute to Union Square Invention honors the illustrious Fluff creator, Archibald Query, who concocted the gooey sticky spread right here in Union Square in 1917.
On Saturday, September 28, 2013 from 3 to 7 pm local artists, musicians, theatrical performers, inventors, and humorists pay madcap tribute to the creation of this great American foodstuff on two stages. Fluff games and shenanigans will spread the sticky goodness throughout the Union Square.
Fest-goers can sample the taste of Fluff from our local vendors presenting sweet and savory Fluffalicious delights. Pair these with Fluff-inspired cocktails and Fluff-local beer concoctions at nearby watering holes.
You'll be transported with appearances by Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library, The Ward Eights, and Marc Pinansky & The Bored Of Health. This year the Fluffettes will be brought to life by the ladies of Rogue Burlesque. Bringing some different thrills, be sure to check out the action from Wheels-N-Motion BMX Stunt Team. Roy Van and Mark Chandler will be spinning some awesome tunes amidst our food vendors.
