Riverdale Avenue Street Festival Huge Success


  The Riverdale Avenue Street Festival held on Riverdale Avenue between West 236th & West 238th Streets was kicked off at noon by Ms. Linda Manning. As soon as Ms. Manning welcomed everyone to the street festival the lines began forming at the attractions. A conservative estimate of 2,500 people attended, and all had fun. The photos of the event below will speak for themselves. Click on any to make them larger.
