Bay Ridge gears up for special 25th annual Saint Patrick’s Parade
Celebrating Saint Paddy’s in Bay Ridge has always been special for locals. Now in its 25th year, the annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Parade promises to be a memorable one.
“Even though we’re a little neighborhood in a big city, we think our parade has made a good name for itself,” said President of the Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee Linda Gallagher-Lomanto, who said around 10,000 people are expected to attend. “It’s one of the best little parades in New York City. Everyone wants to march in it or have some hand in it.”
The festivities start on Sunday, March 25 at 9:30 a.m., with Mass at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, 9511 Fourth Avenue.
