Bronx Week Parade, Music, and Food Festival Caps Off Bronx Week

  Sunday's Bronx Week Parade, Music, and Food Festival was the perfect ending to the 10 days of Bronx Week. The weather was perfect, and hundreds and hundreds of people marched along Mosholu Parkway in the Bronx Week Parade. After the parade they joined hundreds of others who were enjoying the food and informational tables that were set up along the other side of Mosholu Parkway. The topper to all this was the Music Festival that could be heard blocks away that rocked the streets.

  It appears the city spruced up the island between both sides of Mosholu Parkway with up to 50 newly planted trees, and the day before the parade much gardening was done to the grass. The only thing left to do was to repave the roadway, but maybe that will happen before next years Bronx Week Parade across Mosholu Parkway.

  The FDNY opened the parade, with Bronx Walk of Fame Honorees The daughter of the late businessman and philanthropist, Alfredo Thiebaud, Actor and Activist Malik Yoba; and NBA Legend and Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes arrived next to be escorted to the reviewing stand where parade co-hosts Bronx BP Ruben Diaz Jr., and Dr. Bob Lee were . Actress, Author and Television commentator Stacey Dash missed the parade as she had to catch a flight right after the induction ceremony. The photos below will tell the rest of the story.
