State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven) will once again host his annual Veterans BBQ in Howard Beach next month.
Addabbo has been hosting this free event since he was elected to the Senate in 2009.
The 15th annual event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 9 at the Howard Beach Motor Club, located at 59 Russell St., from noon to 2 p.m. Veterans and a guest are invited to enjoy the free food, music, and drinks donated by several area restaurants and organizations. Seating is limited for this event, and reservations are required.

Next month’s event will mark the 15th consecutive Vets BBQ that Addabbo has organized.
“I like to say that every day is Veterans’ Day, and as a small token of our appreciation for their service, my office team and I host this free BBQ for our vets each year,” Addabbo said. “Since entering the Senate in 2009, I have wanted to honor our veterans and thought a great way to do that would be throwing them a party of their own. Every year dozens of veterans come to the BBQ and they all have a great time. It is my honor to host this event, and I would like to thank the Howard Beach Motor Club and all of our community sponsors for making this special day.”
Those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces are welcome to attend the event and may bring one guest with them. To make the necessary reservations, call Addabbo’s district office at (718) 738-1111.
