Brought to you by 990WBOB, experience the stellar lineup including Torn Shorts, Sienna, The Can’t Nots and Kanerko at the PVD Social Club.
All weekend long join in on the fun at Federal Hill's Columbus Weekend Festival. The streets will be closed to accomodate foot traffic and there will be plenty of live entertainment, food and drinks to go around.

PRONK street band festival is actually Monday October 12 at India Point Park starting at 3:30 and going until the musicians' lips fall off or we get kicked out, whichever happens first. Be sure to be there to see local favorites Extraordinary Rendition Band and What Cheer? Brigade as well as other great bands from all over the US!
