WELCOME TO THE BRONX

A MESSAGE FROM OLGA LUZ TIRADO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR After what seemed to be a lifetime of utter chaos, I am happy to welcome you, once again, to The Bronx. The resilience of this city is truly inspiring. As the world hit “pause” we conspired. We met on tiny screens, over the phone, in parks masked and several feet apart. We shared ideas, commiserated about losses, and at times shed a tear or two. We’ve endured and come together as the strong and cohesive community that we are and always have been. We are ready. The Bronx Children’s Museum is opening its doors soon. The Universal Hip Hop Museum is under construction, The Bronx Museum of the Arts is open with new rotating exhibits planned for the entire year. The New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show, the Holiday Train Show and other beautiful outdoor exhibits are underway. The Bronx Zoo has tons of fun for the entire family from age one to one hundred, and tour guides are back on the streets providing great historical information about our borough. There are concerts, theater performances, sports events, and festivals happening. We have a lot to celebrate. History has been made on several levels nationally and locally. Cultural institutions are open, tours are taking place, and most importantly, some of us are hugging again. Our award-winning podcast, Go Bronx Pod, will be coming back for a season two focusing on neighborhoods and communities. AND we will soon be getting our brand-new trolley to offer tours that span our great borough. The Bronx is back and we are waiting for you.

Go Bronx!
