4) Memorial Day Parade (from TimeOutNY)
Monday, May 28th, 2018
"Although there are multiple Memorial Day parades in New York (one in Queens, Staten Island, Bronx and two in Brooklyn), the Kings County Memorial Day Parade in Bay Ridge is the most iconic. In fact, it is one of the oldest traditions in Brooklyn now that it’s in its 151st year. Catholic war veterans lead local service organizations in honor of fallen soldiers and their families at the parade, which is sponsored by the United Military Veterans of Kings County. Following the ceremony, there is a 21-gun salute by the U.S. Army at Fort Hamilton. The NYPD and FDNY also march, Brooklyn high-school bands perform, and antique fire trucks and autos are on display. This year, Lt. Gen. Robert L. Calsen Jr. acts as Grand Marshal."
