Summer Stroll on Third to feature new center stage for local artists
The 2015 Summer Stroll on Third will feature local businesses, costumed antics, and a new center stage on which local artists can perform for two Fridays in July and two Fridays in August.
The fourth annual Summer Stroll on Third, which closes parts of Third Avenue in Bay Ridge so locals can saunter around and see what festivities the neighborhood has to offer, will bring back some of its most popular attractions—live music, costumed characters that will walk around to entertain people, and scavenger hunts—as well as a new kick, a center stage.
“We’re going to have a summer stage for local performers,” said Robert Howe, the president of the Merchants of Third Avenue, which helps host the strolls. “Various theatre performers can utilize the stage. Restaurants will [also] be able to put their tables out, onto the sidewalk, and customers will be able to dine al fresco.”
