Today is the annual Mermaid Parade which pays homage to Coney Island’s forgotten Mardi Gras. The annual parade is the nation’s largest art parade and is held the first Saturday after the Summer Solstice. We New Yorker's MUST weave masquerade events in all through the year...Halloween just isn't enough.
The Parade will be followed by the Mermaid Parade Ball which is an extremely unique gathering of costumed parade participants. There’s live music, cocktails and in true Coney Island wackiness, trapeze artists, fire-eating, and a burlesque show (of course!).
There are just so many delicious pictures of this event, I had to put them all up. For more information about the parade, click
