Get your walking shoes out for Third Avenues Summer Stroll
Plans are now being finalized for the long-awaited Summer Stroll, which will be held on Third Avenue between 82nd and 89th Streets on four Friday evenings this summer.
On those evenings July 20 and 27 and August 10 and 17, from 6 to 10:30 p.m. the strip will be transformed into a pedestrian promenade, with local stores and restaurants as well as Ridge-based arts groups setting up outside.
With several evenings of auditions already completed, those who venture along the Summer Stroll portion of Third Avenue can look forward to lots of entertainment, including some sponsored by the Bay Ridge Arts and Culture Alliance (BRACA), which will have a stage along the strip. According to organizers, confirmed performers include opera singer Daniel Cardona, one of the founders of the Martha Cardona Theater Company.
