*IMPORTANT FACTS & INFO* 

  • MEET THE BAY RIDGE CUPcupA new BR tradition begins here. Now, this Friday. Think: Big. Engraved. Your name. Photo opps. That’s right. A lucky float winner will take this bad boy home this Friday–if they win first prize. (And many, many more prizes for other winners, too). Special thanks to the D’Camera Group for this generous donation.
  • STAY CLASSY, BR. We have no shortage of awesome, creative float ideas. Let’s be mindful that this isn’t about business promotion, and also that our most captive audience is made up of young children–so, let’s try and keep things patriotically-focused and wholesome.
  • Over-21 FOLKS: Bring your ID! We’re going to try & quickly serve cold drinks and also ensure we’re abiding by the law.. just don’t forget an ID to the picnic!
