What’s UP 2021? Though Coronavirus curtailed our 2020 annual signature events, we are confident that, at some point this year, we will be able to celebrate our timehonored traditional activities together again (even if in a modified fashion.) Go ahead and mark your calendars in pencil and forgive us if we have to change a few dates around because, as the past year has taught us...we must remain diligent as well as flexible. MAY Our Bronx Week celebration normally would run from May 6th to the 16th. This 10-day event celebrates the Best of the Borough in various sectors of government, civic, and business communities. This year, we may have fewer events and we may need to shift the dates a bit depending on protocols, but we are making plans to honor some of The Bronx’s best and brightest. JUNE Our Annual Bronx Salutes America Fireworks extravaganza was canceled last year. We are hoping to wish our country a hardy happy birthday in 2021 with some modifications if we get the “all clear” from the powers-that-be. JULY to SEPTEMBER The Summer Concert Series and Bronx Salsa Fest may make a comeback through streaming technology and smaller, sociallydistanced events. Stay tuned.
OCTOBER This year, for our annual Tour de Bronx, we partnered with Ride with GPS® and Transportation Alternatives to provide our riders with customized routes to do on their own, on their own time and with their own group. It may be a while before we can have thousands upon thousands of cyclists come together at one place at one time, so we may, once again, provide a series of different routes for cyclists to enjoy and experience some of the parks, waterfronts, and historic neighborhoods.
