Rio has the Carnival and New Orleans has Mardi Gras. Did you know that Coney Island NY has The Mermaid Parade?

I didn't until today when our lead photographer Buster, a local to NY, send us these pictures.
He has lived in NY his entire life, and has never seen this event before.

We are pleased to present to you the freaks, the geeks, and everyone in between that decided
to "dress up" or in some cases "dress down" for this festive occassion.

Expecting a huge crowd, the police where in full force.

The NYPD Paddy Wagon for the drunks and tokers.

Interesting couple. Las Vegas was not good enough.
They opted to get married here in Coney Island.

Wedding guests included Mr and Mrs Jack Sparrow

Ariel

and King Neptune himself!
