Bronx, NY - On Saturday, July 6th from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson joined co-founder of Bronx Night Market, Marco Shalma of MASC Hospitality Group (MHG), to kick off the Annual Bronx Summer Concert Series at Fordham Plaza for an unforgettable, fun-filled evening of live performers that included DJ Riddim; energetic dance routines by The Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club, Kids Breaking League; the soulful sounds of Ayanna; and the lively rhythms of Johnny Mambo & Friends salsa music.

The Bronx Summer Concert Series concluded with the spectacular sounds of reggae music filling Fordham Plaza's Bronx Night Market courtesy of Ricardo & The Fusion Band.

Traditionally held at the Orchard Beach Pavilion, The Bronx Summer Concert Series for the 2nd year in a row will be featured at locations throughout the Bronx while the site undergoes a $87 million renovation project to restore the 140,000 square foot boathouse once considered the crown jewel of Pelham Bay Park, to its former glory.

"We are excited this summer for the return of our Bronx Summer Concert Series," said Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson. "Our residents and families will have the opportunity to enjoy free performances and entertainment while safely recreating at our local parks. I want to thank Marco Shalma and our sponsors for their partnership on making our kickoff a success and we look forward to seeing everyone as we travel across the borough."
