HONK NYC! has flourished into a year-round, artist-run organization. HONK NYC! makes events that reclaim, reuse, and redefine public space. We connect communities through music-making, pageantry, audience participation, and education. We celebrate the power and vitality of street performance, and support the artists and musicians who preserve and transform these global traditions. HONK NYC! is part of the global HONK! United: a network of activist and community-based street bands and spectacle makers, who are redefining popular traditions of brass and percussion music.
