Progar is located in Syrmia's sub-region of Podlužje, in southwestern corner of the municipality (Forest of Bojcin) and stretches from the left bank of the Sava at the mouth of the Jarčina canal, to the southern shores of the Živača pond.

Local roads connect Progar with the villages of Kupinovo, on the west, and Boljevci, on the east.

In 21st century it began to expand to the north, in the direction of the Propadnica field, along the road which swerves around the western and northern shores of Živača, and connect Progar to Boljevci.

West of it, separated by the Sava's armlets along the embankment which connects the mainland and Progarska Ada, there is another, much smaller island.

The Serbian Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Archangel Gabirel was built in 1799 and was declared a cultural monument in 1972.

By the 2020s, Progar still remained almost exclusively agricultural settlement, despite the numerous opportunities for development of tourism.

[2] At the bank, across the southernmost tip of the island there is a kayak and canoe club "Marina", which is organizing even some international events.

Every weekend, poets, musicians, dancers and theatrical troops perform on an open stage in the woods.

[9] In 2011 a permanent exhibition of the sculptures donated by the artists from Serbia, Bulgaria and North Macedonia was set in the forest.

[11] A number of hospitality and touristic venues developed by the 2020s in the forest area, in the northern extension of the village.

There are other annual events held in the forest, like "Saint Peter's Day Fiacre Parade" (Petrovdanska fijakerijada) and "Equestrian Marathon" (Konjički maraton).
