PHOTOS: 18th Avenue Festival kicks off in Bensonhurst
The 41-year-old Bensonhurst tradition is back again.
The 18th Avenue Festival, aka the Festa di Santa Rosalia, fittingly kicked off on Thursday, August 18 and featured all the fun, food, festive rides and live music that could fit on the avenue.
Turning out thousands of people each year, this summer’s 11-day festival — stretching from 68th Street to 75th Street — was no different.
