The Bronx River Art Center presents the 22nd Annual Bronx River Sounds Performing Arts Festival!

Join us this June for the Bronx River Sounds Festival — a vibrant celebration of the rich multicultural heritage of The Bronx and New York City through music, art,and community!

Over three Saturdays, BRAC will showcase an exciting lineup of musical guests from The Bronx and beyond, blending traditional sounds with contemporary styles to reflect the dynamic cultural fabric of our city.

Each Saturday afternoon kicks off with hands-on, family-friendly workshops including live drawing, a salsa dance and movement session, and an Afro-Caribbean rhythm circle with live drummers.

As evening falls, the festival stage comes alive with two incredible performances each night. This year’s lineup features world-renowned percussionist Orestes Gomez, genre-bending trumpet artist Milena Casado, and Grammy Award-winning Latin jazz and salsa powerhouse Jeremy Bosch.

Tickets will be available for individual events, day passes, and full festival access.
