Event Over

A completely original creation of Coney Island USA, the Mermaid Parade is the nation's largest art parade and one of New York City's greatest summer events.

Founded in 1983 by Coney Island USA, the not-for-profit arts organization that also produces the Coney island Circus Sideshow, the Mermaid Parade pays homage to Coney Island's forgotten Mardi Gras which lasted from 1903 to 1954, and draws from a host of other sources resulting in a wonderful and wacky event that is unique to Coney Island.

    Any place to hang out on Surf Ave to see the Mermaid Parade. I do not love the stand. I could only find Peggy O'Neil's on 1904 Surf Ave. they do not answer the phone.
