Things To Do in the Bronx this Weekend / Events NYC
APRIL is the month of rain and nature blooming once again. The days are much longer and lighter.
This month we celebrate Easter in April [ it was in March in 2024], Earth Day, Passover, Eid Al Fitr which is the end of Ramandan, April Fools Day and of course we must file and pay our taxes.
This is also the month of the Tartan Scottish Day Parade, Persian Day Parade, and the Sikh Day Parade in Manhattan, as well as the Bangladeshi Parade in Queens. Also the International Auto Show comes to the Javits and the Macy's Flower Show begins.
There's plenty to do in the Bronx in the parks, the farmers markets and street fairs begin anew, and cultural happenings abound.
The Bronx is also the host of numerous concerts, theater and film events, as well as great food, parks and good public transit.
The photo above was taken in a prior year at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Their Home Opener was in late March 2025.
Enjoy.
