Your handy guide to Summer Stroll on 3rd
Musical performances, a scavenger hunt and an outdoor art gallery will all be part of the next Summer Stroll on 3rd as the Bay Ridge event moves south for its next two dates.
The first two editions of Summer Stroll, which took place on July 18 and 25 on Third Avenue between Bay Ridge Avenue and 80th Street, were big hits, according to leaders of the sponsoring organization, Merchants of Third Avenue, who said thousands of people came to enjoy themselves.
Starting on Friday, Aug. 8, Summer Stroll on 3rd will take place on Third Avenue between 80th and 90th streets. The 10-block stretch of the commercial thoroughfare will be closed to vehicular traffic from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. to allow pedestrians to stroll down the middle of the street at their leisure, enjoy drinks and dinner at one of the many outdoor cafes set up by restaurant owners along the route and see great live performances by local talents.
