Mermaid Parade in Coney Island NY

Life is so much fun when you transition into a Mermaid and your pet Tortoise becomes a Sea Turtle! I was thrilled and honored to be a part of the 36th annual Mermaid Parade in the legendary seaside resort of Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York on June 16, 2018.  I was a fabulous Mermaid Queen among thousands of Mermaids, Mermen, King Neptunes, Sailors, Pirates, Fish and various other sea creatures. 

The Mermaid Parade is the largest art parade in the nation. A celebration of ancient mythology and honky-tonk rituals of the seaside, it showcases over 3,000 creative individuals from all over the five boroughs and beyond, opening the summer with incredible art, entrepreneurial spirit and community Pride. The parade highlights Coney Island Pageantry based on a century of many Coney parades, celebrates the artistic vision of the masses, and ensures that the summer season is a success by bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the amusement area in a single day.  Unlike most parades, this one has no ethnic, religious, or commercial aims. It’s a major New York holiday invented by artists! An American version of the summer-solstice celebration.
