One of the newer entries to those events that are uniquely Bay Ridge, the Arab American Bazaar & Eid Celebration is now in its ninth year. The event attacts thousands to the 79th Street ballfields of Shore Road Park, and goes on for pretty much the whole day (12pm – 7pm).
There’s no shortage of online video of prior years’ music and dance performances to get a flavor of what to expect. You won’t literally get a flavor of the event, though, unless you come out in person and get a sampling of the Bazaar’s food vendors.
Also this coming week: the monthly poetry reading at the Owl’s Head wine bar, the next Martymusic concert in Shore Road Park, and an outdoor movie at Narrows Botanical garden (all below). You can always reference our full events calendar at any time.
