The Fordham Road Business Improvement District (BID) continues to focus on the beautification of public spaces with the start of the Fordham Plaza renovation and the recently completed Bryan Park (intersecting Fordham and Kingsbridge roads). We are also ramping up our sanitation efforts to ensure that Fordham Road is clean for everyone to enjoy! This summer, we are hosting a record number of seasonal outdoor events including our film festival, sidewalk sales, and Fordham Fever Fridays. Our goal is to engage the Fordham Road community through these events.

Fordham Fever Fridays are in full swing! On Aug. 7, at Muller Park & Plaza (located at Fordham Road and Creston Avenue), is the first-ever beach party event with dunk tanks, giveaways, and beach-themed activities for all to enjoy. For our Sept. 4 and Oct. 2 Fever Fridays, our activities will be food truck and fantasy sports draft-themed respectively. Make sure to check our mobile app for more specific updates. In addition, our sidewalk sale campaign will continue through Aug. 27-29, Sept. 17 and 19, Oct. 22 and 24 and Nov. 28. Shop Fordham Road on these dates between noon to 7:00 p.m., when merchants will be displaying their specialty sales of merchandise outside their storefronts.

Our outdoor film festival is back and will feature three spectacular movies: Ghostbusters, our two-night special feature, on Aug. 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. All the movie events will take place at the newly renovated Bryan Park, an urban green-space for all to enjoy. We will also be having fun activities prior to the start of our movies for the whole family. Mark your calendars and join us for a night under the stars.

We are improving Fordham Road, non-stop, for our shoppers, merchants, and most importantly our community.
