BREAKING NEWS!
PRONK! 2015 to start at Kennedy Plaza/ Burnside Park.

Folks, after much deliberation, we’ve decided to move the day time portion of Pronk! to Kennedy Plaza. We are SUPER excited and we hope you will be too. We want to include more of our neighbors and take our Pronk! parade straight through the heart of the city! We’ll march together along South Water Street and end the night with our traditional Hot Club, Amphitheater, and Hurricane Barrier stage sets. Help us SPREAD THE WORD and stay tuned for maps and transportation information!
