The 22nd Annual Hunt’s Point Fish Parade & Arts Festival

The Fish Parade & Arts Festival is a FREE annual procession through Hunts Point connecting the community to the Bronx River. Like shoaling fish, the community marches together in a family-friendly, vibrant celebration. The parade’s vibe combines activism, joy, and community building. Participants often use banners, costumes, and puppets representing marine life. The parade culminates in an arts festival featuring live music, dancing, and art-making. The event is also a platform for Bronx residents and organizations to raise awareness about environmental issues and to advocate for environmental justice. The celebration includes aquatic life puppets leading the parade. These are looking for the Bronx River. As a symbol of hope, life, resilience, and resistance. They celebrate the ways this community has thrived in the past and continues to fight.
