Fort Independence Playground will be the scene for a free music festival featuring six groups by several genres set to riff, twang, and showcase their stylings.
The half dozen groups–Johnny 7, Los Hot Quesos, Filthy Rotten System, On Dope, Fort Indy, and Boogiedown Cajun Crew–are expected to perform at a concert on June 21 running 5 to 9 p.m. The concert is part of a massive one-day summer concert hosted by Make Music New York, a nonprofit that’ll spearhead more than 1000 concerts in one single day.
The playground can be found on Sedgwick Avenue at West 238th Street. It’s accessible via the Bx10 bus.
The bands represent the folk, funk, punk and rock genres.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
