Generally Speaking: Week of September 27
Bay Ridge Weekend Extravaganza
If you live in or near Bay Ridge–this weekend, get ready for one of the largest youth events here the 46th annual Children’s Ragamuffin Parade on Saturday, September 29 — and one of the oldest and longest street fairs in the city, the Third Avenue Festival, on Sunday, September 30. Both events take place along Third Avenue.
The colorful kiddy parade kicks off at 1 p.m. and travels along Third Avenue, from 76th to 92nd Street, and the Festival hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Bay Ridge Avenue (69th Street) to 94th Street. The Third Avenue Festival originally started back in 1974, as an Oktoberfest.
