Wear sunscreen!&nbsp;Stroller parking in designated area is mandatory.</p><p><a href="http://www.moonalunamusic.com/">Moona Luna</a>&nbsp;is the kindie group that the&nbsp;New York Daily News&nbsp;says is providing &ldquo;the missing soundtrack for bilingual/bicultural kids.&rdquo; &nbsp;After making a splash on the family music scene with their accordion-driven, Latin-inspired debut album,&nbsp;Pi&ntilde;ata Party&nbsp;(2011), Moona&nbsp;Luna&nbsp;delivered something fresh in its sophomore album,&nbsp;Vamos, Let&#39;s Go!&nbsp;(2013). Songwriter and bandleader, Sandra Velasquez, found inspiration in American pop hits of the 50&rsquo;s and 60&rsquo;s, and staying true to her bilingual mission, crafted Spanish and English lyrics for each song.&nbsp;Having bilingual lyrics is just the icing on the cake because the tunes are so finger-snapping good and cater to extremely wide audiences.</p>

Enjoy a performance by bilingual kindie group Moona Luna. This event is suitable for kids up to age 7.

Bronx River Ramble: Woodlawn Brook

12:00

<p>We&rsquo;ll finish our Ramble season this year with a look ahead to a new series of Rambles,&nbsp;exploring the Bronx River&rsquo;s tributaries. Rising in the midst of the Woodlawn Cemetery, Woodlawn Brook is a rare opportunity to trace the course of a Bronx River tributary from its spring-fed source at the Hudson/Bronx River watershed divide to (almost) its outlet.</p><p>Along the way we&rsquo;ll examine a unique Bronx River &ldquo;community&rdquo; and its place in the history of the river&rsquo;s suburban development. Amidst the autumn glory of century-old trees we&rsquo;ll pause to take in a few of the cemetery&rsquo;s historic monuments and the stories behind them, including women&rsquo;s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton; the &ldquo;brother&rdquo; of the Bronx River Soldier; the mystery of the nameless mausoleum; the heroic tale of &ldquo;the Woodlawn Snowman&rdquo;; the man with the 15,000-mile funeral; the admiral who damned the torpedoes; and the most absurd but tragically true epitaph you&rsquo;ll ever see.<br /><br /><strong>Please note: </strong>This free tour will take about two hours, so wear your comfortable shoes and bring water. The Woodlawn Cemetery asks that you do not take photographs without first obtaining a permit from the cemetery Administrative Office. For more information please call Stephen DeVillo at (646)&nbsp;271-8223.<br />&nbsp;</p>
