Arlene Rutuelo, chair of the parade committee, thanked the restaurant for helping the committee raise funds for the parade.

“I am happy to report that we raised more money this year than in previous years,” Rutuelo said. “Spectators from all around the Tri-State area and around the USA and Norway return to Bay Ridge to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day. We are glad to help our local businesses and restaurants to flourish.”

The parade, a tradition since 1952, will take place May 15. It goes along Third Avenue from 80th Street to Bay Ridge Avenue, then up to Fifth Avenue and over to the reviewing stand in Leif Ericson Park.
