Summer is here - Let's Discover Coney Island!
05/29/2019
Why visit Coney Island and What we can find here
Coney Island has always been the playground of New Yorkers, especially May to September becoming alive during those warm summer months with rides, roller coasters, cotton candy, and Nathan's most famous Hot Dogs, of course.The beach, usually deserted during the other months will be bustling with activity from May until the end of September. But it is precisely in the height of summer, during the months of July and August, that those warm summer evenings take the colors and the sounds of fireworks.
Every Friday night in July and August, Coney Island offers free fireworks visible from the Beach / Boardwalk at 9.30pm, one more reason to get to Coney Island!

And remeber these are only few of the places you can visit while in Coney Island .... Once you reach the beach, you will soon realize that fun and entertaniment will await you.
The parade celebrates arts bringing the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Greek mythology and other underwater creatures alive.
When it originally launched in 1983, taking inspiration from Coney Island's very own streets named Mermaid and Neptune, the parade wanted to help Coney Island to be perceived as more than a mere "entertainment" neighborhood, but a place where New Yorkers could self-express freely and showcase their creativity and arts.
Unlike many parades, the Mermaid one is not affiliated to any specific holiday, religion or ethnicity and thus is very inclusive and open to everybody. It's a Summer Fest that helps to bring people from all over the city to the beach celebrating Coney Island History.
PS: Make sure to not miss the annual Mermaid Parade -- this year will be held on Saturday June 22nd from 1:00 pm The Mermaid Parade - Some History
The Coney Island Annual Mermaid Parade, in its 37th year of celebration, is one of the largest non-profit Art Parades in the entire country with over 3,000 participants.The parade celebrates arts bringing the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Greek mythology and other underwater creatures alive.
