Mermaid Parade<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A completely original creation of Coney Island USA, the Mermaid Parade<\/a> is the nation’s largest art parade and one of New York City’s greatest summer events. It celebrates the sand, the sea, the salt air and the beginning of summer, as well as the history and mythology of Coney Island, Coney Island pride, and artistic self-expression. The Parade is characterized by participants dressed in hand-made costumes as Mermaids, Neptunes, various sea creatures, the occasional wandering lighthouse, Coney Island post card or amusement ride, as well as antique cars, marching bands, drill teams, and the odd yacht pulled on flatbed. Yet another glorious reason to don a fishy frock! Queen Mermaid Annabella Sciorra. King Neptune Jackie Martling (Howard Stern).<\/p>\n

Showing her true colors…Cyndi Lauper<\/a> serves it up as Grand Marshal this year at the NYC Pride March<\/a>! YAY! The first march was held in 1970, and has since become an annual civil rights demonstration.
