(10.13) Pronk! the Providence Honk Festival comes to Fox Point Monday, October 13th. Events kick off with a free concert in India Point Park featuring visiting bands from around the country as well as local favorites What Cheer? Brigade, Kickin’ Brass, and the Extraordinary Rendition Band. Providence Monthly describes it perfectly.
In a rather simple nutshell, Pronk is a free concert in India Point Park followed by a parade down Wickenden Street that all culminates with a series of after dark performances. But in a nutshell laced with hyperbole it’s more like the arrival of benevolent aliens heralded by the sounds of brass and marching percussion as they descend on India Point Park and cascade down Wickenden, ultimately dispersing like a technicolor delta between the Hot Club and the echoing, urban cavern underneath 195.
Free all-day (and into the evening) music festival: 3pm, show at India Point Park/5pm, parade down Wickenden Street, Monday, October 13
