What was that tent?

From Saturday afternoon to Monday morning, there was a tent/pavilion over the Willow Ave. end of the 1st section of the bike path.

I saw no evidence of activity around it any time I walked by it, beyond the construction and deconstruction.

What was that all about?

I assumed it was for a honk performance. There was a piece of paper stuck to it at one point.

I don't bike much, but it seemed like it would be low to bike under if one were tall and had a tall bike?

There was some sort of race on Sunday, and there was another tent set up on the other side of Willow with a DJ and stuff. I couldn't entirely see the whole thing out my window, but I'm guessing the big tent was related?

Thanks -- that gave me enough keywords to google: somerville race "october 11" willow

leading me to this: Meow Mile 5K race

Must have been a really small event, as I got no e-mails or robo-calls about it, and nobody I knew was running in it.

(Edit: that page says the start line was at Willow and Highland, rather than Willow and the bike path. So now I'm confused too.)
