Bronx Summer Jam takes place at the Oscar Comras Memorial Mall — a Bronx Park East space dedicated to Oscar Comras, remembered as the man who brought music to the Pelham Parkway community.
Holding a free annual music festival here continues that spirit: bringing neighbors, artists, families and local businesses together through music in the park. For us, it's not just a venue — it's the whole idea.
Bronx Summer Jam is produced by Sirens & Kings — a collaboration between two Bronx production companies, The Fox & King (founded by Fernando Michael) and Sounds & Sirens (founded by Mike Nickerson). It launched in 2022 to help bring live music back to the borough after the pandemic.
The Bronx is the birthplace of hip-hop — but we also have rock, reggaeton, hardcore, alternative. There's so much here, and at Bronx Summer Jam each year we try to show a piece of that.
What we're doing is bringing attention to the existing music and art scene found here in the borough — showcasing local talent and artistry to energize the community and show what the Bronx has to offer.
The Kings Artist Stage for live bands and solo artists, and the Sirens DJ Stage spinning all day — hip-hop, R&B, rock, reggaeton, house and more.
A local market of Bronx makers and small businesses — apparel, art, crafts, and goods from the neighborhood.
Food and beverages on-site so you can post up for the day. Good food, good people — that's the whole idea.
From a free book program with the local library to mental-health-awareness initiatives — giving back to the block.
Families barbecuing, kids at the playground, neighbors stopping to listen — you don't have to attend to be part of it.
Voted Best Annual Event / Festival in Arts & Entertainment at the 2025 Ponce Bank Best of the Bronx — and nominated again in 2026.
