Smaller shows, bigger sounds
The Boston Herald
Boston doesn't have a major music festival. That's a good thing. Most metropolitan areas our size have sprawling, multi-day, 150,000-strong events — Lollapalooza in Chicago, Outside Lands in San Francisco, Bumbershoot in Seattle.

Six-year-old Jason Guenther is recovering after being run over by a parade float in an accident during the recent Winkler Harvest Festival.
