Coney Island Mermaid Parade 2014

coney island mermaid parade

The Coney Island Mermaid Parade is one of my favorite events in the city: it’s like our own mini version of Mardi Gras with a slightly seedy nautical flavor that’s all Coney Islands’s own.Women rocking fish tails, pasties and seaweed-strewn hair dance along the boardwalk with unicyclists, trumpeters, stilt-walkers, and towering floats crammed with revelers. There’s some amount of ogling and cat-calling, but for the most part everyone is well behaved and having a good time. It feels like summer has finally begun.
