Editorial Review
The famous Mermaid Parade takes place every year in Coney Island on the first Saturday after the summer solstice, which in 2009 will be Saturday, June 27th. Join thousands of other Mer-creatures and celebrate the beginning of summer. Mermaid-type costumes highly recommended!
The parade begins at 2:00 pm and can best be viewed on Surf Avenue between West 10th and 15th Streets, or else on the Riegelmann Boardwalk between the same cross streets. After the parade there are additional post-parade activities at Astroland at Surf Avenue and West 10th Street. All parade events conclude around 6 PM, but rides will remain open past midnight.
Note:To register for the parade, call the number above or visit the official website.
