Bay Ridge goes green for annual Saint Pat’s Parade
Irish eyes were certainly smiling on Sunday, March 22 as the Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee kicked off its 22nd annual parade, this year, down the Ridge’s Third Avenue strip.
“We absolutely have a beautiful day,” said Parade President Frankie Marra of the second largest Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in the nation. “I want to thank anybody in the city that made this parade what it is today.”
This year was a milestone year, said Marra before kick-off, as he announced the Parade Committee’s first-ever scholarship.
