Scenes From The Bay Ridge Norwegian Day Parade 2015

Though I’ve mentioned this before to the readers of the Piercing Ken blog, there’s a whole lot more of you hitting these posts of late so some might not know that my neighborhood of Bay Ridge Brooklyn was originally a very strong Norwegian based area. That said, we hold an annual parade for Norwegian Constitution Day which is on May 17th and this year it was able to be held on the actual day so a little more special in the hearts of all Norwegian residents and those who came to visit the neighborhood once again. I headed out to the parade and snapped a whole bunch of photos that will bring you into the moment with me. Its a mostly visual presentation but I might chime in here and there.

Bay Ridge Norwegian Day Parade (5/19/2013)

Yesterday it was a very gloomy and rainy day here in Bay Ridge but that did not stop the proud Norwegian residents from marching in honor of the annual Bay Ridge Norwegian Day parade. I really enjoy bringing our readers the occasional area parade when it is possible for me to attend and present you some visuals of the proceedings. With that being the case I will not say too much and let you instead feel like you were standing right there with me. Enjoy.
