The Bronx River Sounds Festival continues June 12 through June 14, bringing another weekend of live music, workshops, and cultural programming to the Bronx River Art Center.
The annual festival, presented by the Bronx River Art Center, celebrates the multicultural heritage of The Bronx through performances, educational workshops, and family-friendly activities. This year's festival takes place across two weekends and features artists, musicians, and educators from the Bronx and beyond.
The festival opened June 5 with a performance by Dominican singer-songwriter Yasser Tejeda. The first weekend also included a dance workshop, performances by Tal Yahalom: Mirror Image and Jeremy Bosch, plus a family arts and crafts workshop and a children's performance by Peruvian singer-songwriter Flor Bromley.
GRAMMY-nominated Bromley combines storytelling, global rhythms, and theater to honor Latin culture and motivate children with her acclaimed work.
