Fordham University hosted its second annual Bronx Celebration Day on Saturday, April 21 at the university’s Rose Hill Campus Walsh Lot. The event was an excellent opportunity for Bronxites to learn more about the borough’s diverse culture, enjoy live musical and dance performances from local artists, support local vendors, tour Fordham’s massive campus and sample delicious global cuisine.
Bronxites of all ages bought shirts displaying their love for their hometown.
