Kossuth Playground in Norwood was blasted to the Middle Ages as the Friends of Mosholu Parkland (FOMP) hosted the first-ever Renaissance Festival on Oct. 5. Participants were clad in medieval wear for the family-friendly festival that included games, music, and some arts and crafts. FOMP also got some assists from the 52nd Precinct NYPD Explorers, BuildON, Cardinal Spelman High School, and local military veterans through the Mission Continues group. Photos by Miriam Quinones.

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.
