Third Ave. Festival brings fun, fun, fun!
BAY RIDGE — Third Avenue rolled out the welcome mat for hundreds of thousands of visitors on Sunday, as the 46th Annual Third Avenue Festival took place under sunny skies and warm temperatures that put a smile on everyone’s face.
The festival, one of the longest street fairs in New York City, is a 35-block-long extravaganza sponsored by the Merchants of Third Avenue, an organization representing hundreds of stores on the shopping thoroughfare. The festival route stretched from Bay Ridge Avenue to 94th Street.
Bob Howe, president of the Merchants of Third Avenue, did a post-festival analysis and called the event a big success.
