With three stages, over 50 artists, and friends everywhere you turn, the Tom Tom Festival’s Downtown Mall Block Party is the gateway to the annual event’s creative side. From the wild focus of Bad Hat Fire and fluid moves of Capoeira Resistência C’ville, to the blasts of the No BS! Brass Band and expansive jams of Kendall Street Company, the weekend’s roaming bash gives way to the laid-back picking at Porchella along the streets of Belmont on Sunday.
