On Sunday, July 7, 2019, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. will host the Bronx Summer Concert Series opener at Orchard Beach.
Throughout the summer, as part of the series, Borough President Diaz will host concerts each Sunday, from July through August, at Orchard Beach -- The Bronx Riviera -- featuring a wide-variety of artists, including local solo artists and dance teams.
“The Bronx has been nurturing ground for the development of a lot of types of musical genres, and we want to keep that musical tradition alive,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. “Whether it’s Hip Hop or Salsa, music is as much a part of our identity as Yankee Stadium or the Bronx Zoo. Our concert series helps add to that longstanding legacy of great music that comes out of our borough.”
The Bronx Summer Concert Series at Orchard Beach; sponsored by Corona, AT&T, Empire BlueCross BlueShield HealthPlus, Con Edison, Waste Management, MetroPlus, BronxCare, MGM Resorts, Mets Foundation, Altice USA, Bronx Salsafest, NYC & Co. Foundation, The Bronx Tourism Council, BOEDC, Bronx Terminal Market, Latino Sports, La X96.3, Univision 41 Nueva York, The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, Parrilla Latina, Joe’s Place, Casa Noble, and Mi Casita; kicks off this Sunday, from 1 PM to 5 PM, with José Alberto "El Canario," Fulanito, and freestyle artist George Lamond.
