Third Avenue shows how to Embrace Winter
BAY RIDGE — The stores along the Third Avenue shopping strip were turned into concert stages and art galleries on Feb. 22, as business leaders joined forces with a local arts advocacy group to present Embrace Winter, a festival designed to promote the arts.
“I thought it went really well. I’m happy with how it went,” Embrace Winter organizer Victoria Hofmo told the Home Reporter on Feb. 25.
Hofmo’s group, the Bay Ridge Arts and Cultural Alliance, teamed up with the Merchants of Third Avenue, the organization representing hundreds of store owners on the busy shopping thoroughfare, to host the Eighth Annual Embrace Winter Festival.
