Honk if you love brass bands and parades


[This evening via Bobby Williams]

As you may have heard, the 2nd Annual East Village Cavalcade of Pomp is underway now in the neighborhood... part of the HONK NYC! Festival.

Per the HONK NYC Facebook page:

East Village Cavalcade of Pomp Parade Starting Locations & Schedule — all parades end in Tompkins Square Park, where bands will perform a set.

5pm - Perhaps Contraption in Tompkins Square Park

5:30pm - Os Siderais begins a parade through the neighborhood from De Colores Community Yard Garden on 8th Street between Avenues B & C

5:30pm - Environmental Encroachment steps off from Two Boots Pizzeria, Avenue A and 3rd Street corner

I may be in the minority but I HATE it when brass bands march around and play on the sidewalk. They always seem to play for too long and too loud when I'm trying to chill at home. If I wanted to hear music, I'd go to a show.

You're probably not in the minority, especially if you prefer heroin dealers to marching bands.
