Parade Organizers Taking Extra Safety Precautions

Following the Boston Bombing organizers of this year’s Lag BaOmer Parade are taking extra safety precautions, and are asking for assistance from the public in making this year’s parade safe and enjoyable for all.

Important Safety Notice:

After the recent attack in Boston the organizers of the Great Parade would like to assure everyone that security precautions have been taken to make sure that The Great Parade proceeds safely and securely. Our staff has discussed the security of the event with the NYPD chief of Brooklyn south.

The amount of police officers present will be increased, security will be bolstered, and there will be a sweep of the parkway before the event.

Here are a few guidelines to follow:

1. From Motzei Shabbos at midnight and on, all unattended personal objects on the parade grounds will be confiscated and disposed of.
2. Large items and bags such as backpacks and suitcases will not be allowed onto the premises during the parade.
3. The police have also urged us to remind everyone to follow the guidelines, maps, and instructions that The Great Parade will be providing.
4. Finally “If you see something, say something.” Alert the security if you see any suspicious activity.

please help us ensure the safety of all the attendants,and lets make this year’s parade bigger and better than ever!
