Lucky number 23: Ridge celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with annual parade
Talk about the luck of the Irish.
The 23rd Annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade weathered an impending snowstorm on Sunday, March 20 and was, instead, greeted by cloudy – but dry – skies as it marched along Third Avenue.
“Another glorious, nice, Irish Bay Ridge day we have,” said Parade Vice President Linda Gallagher at the pre-parade brunch, held at Hunter’s Steak House following an early morning mass at Saint Patrick’s. “The snow shifted, thank the Lord.”
