Today I strolled over to Hostos Community College (located in Mott Haven and the border of Melrose) for the annual ¡Viva El Bronx! and Hostos Community College Homecoming Celebration which was held on the Grand Concourse between East 144th Street and East 149th Street. Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words so here are a few to show you some of the highlights of this gorgeous Bronx afternoon. Be sure to click on the pictures below for a larger image…ENJOY!!

Ramitas de Borinquen, or Little Branches of Borinquen (what the Taino Indians called the island of Puerto Rico).

Strangers picking up instruments at one of the CD vendor tables and playing along with the music that was playing as well as dancing…gotta love The Bronx!
It truly was a gorgeous day!
