Annual Norwegian Day Parade draws one of its biggest crowds
Continuing the legacy.
The sun shone as thousands of attendees filled Third Avenue in Bay Ridge for the 67th annual Norwegian Constitution Day Parade, which commemorates the signing of the Norwegian constitution on May 17, 1893.
The annual event, held this year on May 19, brought out a flotilla of festive floats, marchers in traditional outfits and bands aplenty. Participants lined up on Third Avenue, between 83rd and 84th streets, and headed down to Leif Ericson Park, where closing ceremonies took place.
