Third Avenue is new route for Norwegian Day Parade
For the first time, this year, the Norwegian Constitution Day Parade a fixture in Bay Ridge for six decades will be held on Third Avenue.
Arlene Rutuelo, the chairperson of the 17th of May Parade Committee, said the committee got final approval from the city on March 6 to shift the parade from its longtime route along Fifth Avenue.
The parade will now run from 86th Street and Third Avenue to Sixth Avenue and 66th Street, picking up its longtime route at Bay Ridge Avenue and Fifth Avenue to end in Leif Ericson Park.
