Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade makes triumphant return!
It was worth the wait!
After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade made its triumphant return to Third Avenue on Sunday, March 27. Hundreds of parade participants from local schools, civic and business organizations, Irish cultural groups and talented marching bands filled the avenue with green and gold as part of this grand Bay Ridge tradition.
Marchers made their way along Third Avenue from Marine Avenue all the way to 67th Street. The reviewing grandstand was set up outside Greenhouse Café at 7717 Third Ave. and drew a large crowd of revelers who enjoyed hearing and seeing each band in the line of march up close. Young dancers from the Donny Golden School of Irish Dance, Buckley School of Irish Dance and the O’Malley Irish Dance Academy put on spirited performances at the grandstand as well and drew loud ovations.
