THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) -- The spring season brings street festivals and community events, one of the biggest in the Bronx.
The 52nd annual Bronx Week theme is "More in 24," and organizers are ready to prove it.
"We are the only borough that gets a week, and because we are special in the Bronx, it lasts 13 days," said Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson.
Walking tours, a movie night and special banquets are planned. Vendors and businesses are ready to welcome neighbors and new friends.
The newest Bronxites will be inducted into the Walk of Fame along the Grand Concourse.
Bronx Native in Mott Haven is the borough brand ready for another big season.
"Bronx greatness, Bronx people and culture and business are highlighted along with the movement going on here," said creator Amaurys Grullon.
Food is always in focus. Giovanni’s is famous on the corner of East 150th and Grand Concourse for a slice of fine dining.
"It has been getting better and better over the years. It doesn’t stop, and it keeps growing. The Bronx is amazing," said restaurant owner Sammy Sujak.
The schedule of events can be found on the program's website.
"We have something for everyone and extort from a labor breakfast to a silent disco," said Julius Drake with the Bronx Tourism Council.
The 161st Street Business Improvement District works to support businesses and visitors to the area all year.
