All Fluff -- and Loving It Somerville can be proud of so much, but Archibald Query's crazy marshmallow concoction is something to celebrate. That's why we have "What the Fluff?" Fesstival. Fluffernutter may be the guest of honor this year, but you can stuff your face with all sorts of reasonably-priced treats or enjoy Fluff fun 'n games or enjoy the entertainment including Jordan Valentine & the Sunday Saints, Rex Complex, Los Sugar Kings, and The Flufferettes. Union Square Plaza, Somerville. 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Free.

Neither postponement nor insects nor continued precipitation could keep Somerville, the Birthplace of Marshmallow Fluff, from celebrating its most famous and peanutbutter-compatible of culinary inventions at the Third Annual What The Fluff? Festival.
The Fluff Festival, a celebration of that delicious Marshmallow Fluff spread, was postponed yesterday. However, the event will happen this afternoon, complete with a surely-exquisite performance by a burlesque troupe, The Flufferettes. Be not worried by the rain! The Somerville Arts Festival has set up tents!
Each week Bostonist brings you the most contagious of Boston-based viral videos from around the interwebs.
The 3rd Annual What the Fluff? Festival was delayed until Sunday, but will go on tomorrow, rain or shine, from 4pm-7pm. Inspired by state legislature that proposed to ban Fluffernutters from school lunches in 2006, the Fluff festival began as a call to arms for personal freedom and choice of lunch sandwich. The fluffed up bill did not pass, and Somerville, home to the invention of Fluff, continues to rejoice. The question remains, will former state senator Jarrett Barrios show, or will he remain a fluffer-notter?
