It’s the 30^th Anniversary of the Coney Island USA Mermaid Parade. Founded in 1983 by Coney Island USA, the not-for-profit arts organization pays homage to Coney Island's forgotten Mardi Gras which lasted from 1903 to 1954.

Stop by Surf Avenue to enjoy an amazing show full with all kinds of sea-creatures, unique costumes & outstanding floats. The Parade is followed by the Mermaid Parade Ball, a post-parade gathering where costumed parade participants can get together with each other and parade spectators to listen to live music, enjoy cocktails and watch burlesque and sideshow acts performed by some of New York City's hottest performers
