First time to attend the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island. It did not disappoint. Sunny, mild weather made the day ultra enjoyable. So many NYers in good spirits, despite the swelling crowds all along the boardwalk and Stillwell Ave. On the boardwalk or in the parade, there were sights everywhere you looked. Color, glitter, fish scales and sea shells. So much spunk and creativity on display, it's not hard to appreciate what this parade represents: a parade for artists and creative folk.
