45th Annual Bronx Week Parade Across Mosholu Parkway


  It was cold, damp, and sunny at times, as the 45th Annual Bronx Week Parade marched on across Mosholu Parkway. As the four Bronx Week Hall of Fame Honorees arrived - Arlene Alda, Vincent Pastore, Peter Sohn, and Eduardo Vilaro, they joined Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. The parade of over 125 groups then began marching led by the NYPD and FDNY as you will see in the many photos below. 
  As the children form PS 76 marched by the reviewing stand Arlene Alda gave a speech to them to say that anyone of them could wind up like her with their own Bronx walk of Fame sign, and she hoped it would be many. After the parade the Music and arts festival began.
