HOWL! (Festival of East Village Artists)
"Howl" is the title of a 1955 poem by Allen Ginsberg. HOWL! is the Festival of East Village Arts, a week-long August celebration first held in 2003. 2005's festival celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the poem.
The HOWL! festival went on hiatus after 2013.
Wikipedia: Howl
Howl is a poem by Allen Ginsberg that was first performed in 1955 in the Six Gallery in San Francisco. It is noted for relating stories and experiences of his friends and contemporaries, its tumbling hallucinatory style, and the subsequent obscenity trial which it provoked. It is dedicated to Ginsberg's friend Carl Solomon, whom he met in a mental institution.

HOWL!
Festival of East Village Arts
Sept 8-16
I saw the best minds of my generation… at this weeklong street festival last summer (ok, they might not have been "the best," but they were a lot of fun). Consider all of the aforementioned street fairs as practice for this mother of them all. Named for the iconic Allen Ginsberg poem, The Howl Festival heads into its fourth year but will take place in early September this time around, instead of late August.
The Lower East Side and the East Village will again play host to the festival's many performing and visual arts events, and while no formal schedule has yet been posted, you can rest assured that the festival will feature an eclectic mix of innovative and edgy dance, poetry, music and theatrical performances.

The week-long annual HOWL! Festival, produced every August by the Federation of East Village Artists, celebrates the neighborhood's role as the cradle of counterculture. It brings to the bars, clubs, galleries, parks, streets, and theaters of the Lower East Side an explosion of dance, film, food, music, performance, painting, poetry, sculpture, and theater.
The festival attracts more than 200,000 people to hundreds of events and many venues throughout the neighborhood, truly a metropolitan county fair.
Luminaries like Boy George, Steve Buscemi, Steve Earle, Karen Finley, Nan Goldin, Luis Guzman, Jim Jarmusch, Moby, Lou Reed, Ed Sanders, and Suzanne Vega draw the festival's crowds but its real stars are the hardworking independent artists and writers who continue to invigorate the neighborhood with their inconoclastic spirit.

The HOWL! Festival
BY MATTHEW MOROWITZ – JULY 1, 2015
POSTED IN: EAST VILLAGE
Historically, the Village and East Village have always been the place for artists, writers, performers, and a slew of other creatives in New York City, a fact that is widely celebrated as one of the area’s defining characteristics. The HOWL! Festival is a celebration of this history. Founded in 2003 and named for long time East Village resident Allen Ginsberg’s famous poem, the mission of the HOWL! Festival is “to honor, develop, create and produce,” as well as to “celebrate local cultural icons and lionize, preserve, and advance the art, history, culture, and counterculture unique to the East Village and Lower East Side.”

Though the festival was set to take place again in 2014, it ended up going on hiatus with no indication as of yet whether it would resume in 2015 or beyond.
