Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade holds 24th annual dinner dance
The Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade committee held its 24th annual dinner dance on Saturday, March 4 at Dyker Beach Golf Course to celebrate the upcoming 2017 parade and this year’s marshals and honorees.
Over 300 people attended the event, which featured bagpipers and a performance by Donnie Golden Irish Step dancers. Local favorite, the Brooklyn-based Canny Brothers Band, played to an enthusiastic crowd who enjoyed a great meal and danced in between courses. They kept the spirit up all night long.
Each year, the evening recognizes the parade marshals and Irish Family of the Year. This year’s honorees range from community activists and volunteers to educators and more, all who have given back to Bay Ridge.
