Join us on Saturday, June 21st, 2025, when we’ll be taking Coney Island by storm at the 43rd Annual Mermaid Parade!

Inspired by the Coney Island Mardi Gras parades of old, the Mermaid Parade was transformed by its participants into a new kind of community celebration. By the late 1980s, it was at the top of every list of “must-do” things in New York, and is, without question, the official opening of summer in the city.

Art-full Members only start the afternoon with a delicious Mediterranean lunch at Limon, overlooking the legendary Coney Island coast, before the fun begins.

While we’re not officially marching this year, costumes are highly encouraged! This is your chance to show off your best sea creature-inspired costume and be as loud and outrageous as possible. Please add some pink flair in honor of Women of Culture! Here’s some inspiration – and check out the parade’s FAQ page here.
