The 3rd Avenue Street Festival has been a staple of the South Bronx for over 40 years, attracting 10,000+ vistors to the commercial district every summer. The Festival celebrates the rich history and culture of Melrose and Mott Haven, bringing live performances, food, general vendors, local businesses, community programming, and free resources.
