Merchants plan Third Avenue Festival despite Ragamuffin cancellation
The Merchants of Third Avenue intend to hold their annual festival even though it was announced last week that the children’s Ragamuffin Parade had been canceled due to COVID-19.
The festival generates a huge crowd looking to enjoy rides, games, vendors, food and live music. The Ragamuffin Parade is traditionally held on the avenue the previous day. Like most events, both were canceled last year because of the pandemic.
This year’s festival is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 3.
