The Fish Parade was first conceived as an expression of community pride for the
Bronx
and
East River
waterfronts and an opportunity to showcase the work of visual and performing artists who call the Hunts Point and Longwood communities home.  

After winding through the streets of Hunts Point and Longwood, the parade will conclude at the Summer Festival on
Hunts Point Avenue
.  Between 1:00 and 5:00 PM, the Festival will feature a main stage with live entertainment and performances of artists participating in Action Lab, led by Hunts Point-based internationally acclaimed choreographer Arthur Aviles.  Vendor tents will highlight the foods, local art scene and work of nearby educational, arts, health and environmental organizations.  Additionally, a children’s corner at
Seneca Avenue
will host a variety of activities for children.  All events will be sponsored by The Point Community Development Corporation, SEBCO Development, Inc. and The Bronx Museum @ The Point Action Lab Collaborative Arts Project.
