6PM, meet at 10th Avenue and W. 17th St

MMNY brings the New Orleans Second Line Parade tradition to the next level --New York's elevated High Line!

Join the Hungry March Band at 6:00 PM on the High Line's 10th Avenue Overlook (near 17th Street), and parade through the park's newly opened second section up to W. 30th Street while dancing the traditional Second Line steps.

Roaring out of Brooklyn comes the Hungry March Band, NYC's legendary street brass band with the anarchic style that has become their trademark. The Hungry March Band has earned a reputation for mythical revelry, having performed at guerilla art events, mermaid parades, rural raves, subway parties, eccentric weddings, community affairs, protests, high art events, the Staten Island Ferry, Brighton Beach Boardwalks, MoMA, Lincoln Center, steps of the NYC Post Office, and playing themselves in the final scene of John Cameron Mitchell's recent film Shortbus.

The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's West Side. The first section of the park, which runs from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street, opened in June 2009. The second section, from West 20th Street to West 30th Street, will open in June, 2011. The High Line offers a full calendar of free and low-cost public programs aiming to build a diverse, inclusive community around the park.
