There are still endangered community gardens in New York City, like the Children’s Magical Garden, where members are currently struggling to save their garden from development. For over a decade, marching bands like Rude Mechanical Orchestra and the Hungry March Band have been a part of the call to action to save these urban treasures and reclaim public space. This year HONK! NYC returns to commemorate the loss of Esperanza Community Garden 15 years ago, celebrate the existence of our secure garden spaces, and once again sound the alarm for those gardens that are fighting for survival.
HONK NYC! is an annual extravaganza of street bands and spectacle. For one fantastic week each October, HONK NYC! presents over a dozen free and ticketed performances in schools, clubs, parks, gardens, galleries and other public spaces across metropolitan New York. Fun, revelry, audience participation and inclusion are the hallmarks of HONK NYC! events. The festival brings together musicians and performers from around the globe who share a passion and dedication for playing and preserving the grassroots tradition of brass and percussion music. HONK NYC! is a spin-off from the decade-strong, Boston-area HONK! Festival of Activist Street Bands, the founding fest of a now multi-city network of HONK!s in the U.S., Brazil and Australia.
