The Coney Island Mermaid Parade

A Coney Island tradition now in its 26th year, the Mermaid Parade attracts only the brightest and, ahem, boob-centric costumes. With the area’s future still uncertain, this event is a colorful reminder of all Coney Island has to offer—namely, an "anything goes" spirit, real showmanship, and a love of all things low-cut.
