Ralph Succar, president of the Bay Ridge Community Council, said it’s important to continue the neighborhood’s traditions.

“With the past year we had with COVID-19, we were looking forward to continuing our tradition and moving ahead with a sense of some normalcy,” Succar said. “The fall art was one thing that brought the community and children out to do something we’ve been doing for many years.”
