New York is the largest city in US and parades in New York
are the biggest, flashiest, and most exciting. Almost all the most famous
parades , such as Halloween Parade,
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,
New York St. Patrick's Day Parade are in Manhattan. But there is one
parade that is very far from the center of the city, in the southern part of Brooklyn- Mermaid Parade.
It takes place every
year in Coney Island on the first Saturday after the summer solstice. This year
summer solstice date and parade date were the same- the 21 of June.
Hundreds of thousands of people celebrated in Coney Island
on they watched a colorful seaside procession of marching bands, antique cars
and revelers dressed as pirates or mythological aquatic creatures. This year there were more mermaids than a last year maybe
because Chiara De Blasio, the daughter
of Mayor Bill de Blasio served as Queen
Mermaid. I was there and made a bunch of pictures. Enjoy!
