Bronx Week Parade
By Robert Press
The Annual Bronx Week Parade which closed out Bronx Week, (running this year from May 6th to May 19th), returned to Mosholu Parkway after last year having been on the Grand Concourse. The Bronx Week Parade was hosted by Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson, and co-hosted this year by News 12 reporter and News Anchor Noelle Lillery.
Marchers in the Bronx Week Parade had to arrive eairlier than the usual traditional 12 PM start, as this year the parade kicked of a little after 10 AM. The parade began with Bronx Community Board 7 marching, followed by community organizations, schools and marching bands, and many others in the category of community involvement including the Hare Krishna followers who were the last parade marchers, almost two hours later.
Those who stopped by the stage to perform for Bronx Borough President Gibson and the community standing across the street from the stage included the Bronx Gems, Bronx Giants, MS 80 Tigers, St. Raymond's Academy, PS 94, PS/MS 5, MS/HS 223, IS 584, 40+ Double Dutch, and more. It was a great parade.
