Third Avenue Festival brings the world to Bay Ridge
Music, dancing and lots of mouth-watering food to eat…is there a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon?
Hundreds of thousands of people who came to the Third Avenue Festival in Bay Ridge on Oct. 4 would say, “There is no better way!” The 42nd Annual Third Avenue Festival was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
The festival, which opened at noon and ran until 6 p.m., had something for everyone. All along the festival route, there were concert stages where bands like Out of the Blue and Social Zoo belted out rock and roll songs. There were dance performances from children who study at local dance academies. On one stage, members of Gateway City Church performed songs and skits and then playfully tossed bracelets to the audience. There were rides and game for kids, fashion shows, flea markets and lots of outdoor cafes offering everything from gourmet hamburgers to sushi. There were prayer stations scattered along the route. And if people were praying for good weather, their prayers were answered.
