Culminating a slew of Bronx Week activities, thousands descended on Mosholu Parkway on Sunday, May 23 for the annual Bronx Parade and Festival.
Dozens of groups and organizations, from local cheerleading squads to representatives of Monroe College and Community Board 7, marched along the northern part of the parkway.
On the south side, a festival featuring everything from food stations to prayer stations was in full bloom. The entertainment included an arm wrestling competition and the hip-hop styling of the legendary Sugar Hill Gang.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
