The Coney Island Mermaid Parade, held annually in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, is the largest art parade in the United States. The parade is held each year in June and celebrates the arrival of the summer season. Created and produced by the non-profit arts organization Coney Island USA, the 37th annual parade will be held Saturday, June 22, 2019.
